Default Anyone know anything about pro boats?

I'm looking for a boat that can cut through the chop. I have a supervee 27 and it bounces to much and has flipped. I wa looking at the Pro boat black jack 26 brushless, the widow maker. Does anyone know anything about these two boats in rougher conditions?

i have a pro boat thundercat 31 nitro and it is a lot of fun to run...........on glass!  the catamarans are not to good on rough water especially the smaller guys.... so i would stay away from the blackjack 26.  i'm not sure how much you want to spend but i highly recommend you check out warehouse hobbies if you want a rough water boat. they make very strong hull. i have the magnum 57 and she loves chop! but the super gator & man o war would also be great choices..........it sounds like you might like the electrics and these boats are gas but once you try it you will love it. and you can't beat the customer support whh offers.............check out the "enforcer owners only" thread under gas boats for more info

all the smaller boats be it electric or nitro will bounce in choppy water, Cats and Monos take it the best, the only way to deal with it is Go Bigger and spend Mo Money You gotta think In Scale a small boat is only gonna take a small wave, think of the boat full size and scale the wave Up the same amount,, it's not so small any more.
