26" Deep Vee is nice but once you get in the water and out there it get's pretty small. I've had a few and bigger is better if you step up a bit. The most bang for your buck in Deep Vee is the Hobbyking Inception. 36" hull and 40" overall it stands out and still is good size in the water. Take a look at it and the video and let me know, have a like brand new one that you might talk me out of.
