What's up everyone? Winter is hear and what a bummer. I have a couple of questions I would like some input on. I would like to buy a boat for the wife that is more manageable than a nitro. We found a artr hydro at Exceed with a great price,with beautiful boats she and I like. Being it is clutched,and we also like the fact we can run them on two stroke gas should do the trick. What kind of speed can I expect from a 49 inch boat with a 26cc motor? Are these type boats good boats? I didn't see a turn fin on this bigger boat in their pictures. Are these right hand boats only or no? I bought a cherry like new nitro hydro boat recently on consignment at my local hobby shop that has had five tanks of 20% with stock plug run through it. I am sure there will be a lot of opinions on this next question. For playing on my own pond (about seven acres),what will be the best % and plug for all around boating? Thanks, Frantz

There's a reason why Exceed boats are cheap, it's because they are all the way around. You have to see them in person to see how bad they are.

Is one of these the boat you're looking at?

If so,I have to agree with Ron on this one. My advice would be to order a thunderboat kit from Blazer Marine or on of the Zippkits boat. Here are the two sites:

http://zippkits.com/~zippkits/index....05068141c868c9

My reasons for recommending these kits are threefold:
1) You will be much happier with the finished project than with the cheap RTR
2) You will be able to say "I built it myself" to anyone that asks where you got it and are move likely to have it on display in your home than the cheap RTR
3) If you decide, after completing it, that the boats are just not for you(always a possibility) the odds of being able to sell it are infinately better than trying to sell the cheap RTR
