Default First boat?

Ok,i have started to get an interest in boats lately,and they seem like alot of un. I would like to get my first boat, but i have NO idea whatn i'm doing. So i'm gueassing electric is the way to go?and i'm thinking about the traxxas blast,is that a good beginner boat? i have owned a few traxxas vehicles and they have all been great to me and were durable. and i don't really know any manufactors, is Aquacraft any good? I saw a few boats of their's a like, but just nitro.Would any of these boats be any good?I don't want to spend much more than,maybe $250, $275. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.And i'm thinking nitrobecause i sold my nitro cars but kept the fuel and everything i would need,and i would have to buy some stuff for if i go electric, i need batteries and the p;ugs switched, i run all deans and ihave to have the guys at my hobby shop do it.

Default RE: First boat?

yeha that's kinda too much, i just want toget a good boat that's not that expensive because id on't know if i'll like it,but i'm sure i will, i do have an interest in boats, but i just started into RC boats, that's why i'm thinking a nitro, i've owned nitro but not boats, and i likenitro, so that might bee the way to go, and i have been watching alot of videos and it seems the electrics are really slow,and i don''t want ot get a boat i think is too slow and end up spending a bunce of money to make it go faster
