Default buying rc boat

I am looking for a rc boat, 3 to 4 foot long. I am more interested in power than in speed. I would like electric motor with run time of 30 min or more. The type I would like is fishing boat, or tug boat. I don't want a kit, but I would buy a kit, put together by someone who is skilled at putting them together. I have been looking and have had no luck. Is there such a boat out there, or am I expecting too much?

ask in the scale boating section if anyone has a boat for sale. Boats that size will always come in kit form. If you pay enough money, Im sure someone will build it for you.

check out http://www.scalespeed.com/homepage_en.htm

You can not on this site ask if anyone has a boat for sale as we don't allow for sale, trade or wanted threads in the forums.
Finding a scale boat for sale won't be easy as you've already found out if that's what you're looking for.
A tug boat in that size is going to be heavy. The smaller one that would be close to that size, the Miss Darby, uses a deep-cycle battery for power. Most wait until the boat is floating before putting it in.
You can find some large offshore fishing boats in that size in kit form. I think that Expresscraft Boats has one.

Have a look right here in the Market Place. http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=284425 If it's power you want this has a boat load (sorry for the pun). I own one of these, have for several years and they really pull hard.
