<span style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; ">DIESEL6401 has the right boat, the right web site. There is one other place, on E Bay that has the same boat. I did not think that 283 without battery or shipping was a bad price.

Was mostly swayed by the high kv value on the motor. Tell me more on the negative aspects of the engine, e.g. unloaded kv etc.

Was also looking at the Motley crue and the Mystic 29, both at 359. Plan on running on calm pond mostly with about 300 foot straight aways. Have experience with gas hydoplane on 500 foot straight aways.

Motley Crue, Mystic 29, Impulse 31??? Looking for raw speed, mostly out of the box. Suggested Battery(s)?

Thanks</span>
