I agree with Bill in the getting bored quick part of his statement. However I think for a beginner 40 to 50 mph with WHH M-5 motor is very enjoyable and should hold you over until you want to step it up. Defiantly get a boat with a clutch. Just trust me on that for a starter gas boat it just is allot easier to manage. You have to remember these things are very dangerous and must be respected. After you get bored with say a WHH Mantaray or Magnum 57 step it up to a WHH Silex and hang on. My Silex with the M-6 is Awesome and plenty fast. WHH is very dependable and offers the best customer service around. Bill at Top Secret also sells RTR boats now and then. I purchased an Apache from him RTR with a clutch and it was a sweet boat. I would recommend a kit type boat. The only way to go and easy to put together. WHH makes it real enjoyable to assemble. I think the resale on all the boats right now are in the toilet so get one and hang on to it and enjoy
