Don't give up so easily. The Vegas is actually a very good boat that was designed by a guy that actually races boats from Wisconsin. As for TFL and Hydropro, I've never heard of them. I'm guessing they are Chinese companies that are just out for the cash, could be wrong though. Your best option would be to find a club that runs in your area and ask them for help. Here's a link to the IMPBA clubs and officers that cover your area:

I would contact the district director, Randy Rapedius to see about having someone help you out.
