I cant think of any that are decent for that price..If you do find one its probably gonna be small and need to be ran on glass smooth water...You might look at Wal-Mart..They might have some nice ones..hehe J/K

Hi, Jack
I can't imagine your being able to find the kind of boat you've described for that kind of money. I entered the hobby this past year thinking I could find a decent boat for 130.00 and have since found out how mistaken I was. That's about what I paid formy proboat minivee from Horizon Hobby. Its afun little boatand runs well butI would not consider it either fast or sturdy.
I''ve since purhased an Aquacraft supervee27. I bought it used from a member on one of these sitesfor about 175.00 but have since replaced the motor and the electronic speed control. I recently added fourspare lipo battery packs (because a five minute runtime is a long runtime for a fast electric), a charger and some new connectors and now I'm into it for a severalhundred dollars.
It is not an inexpensive hobby, but I find it very satisfying because I enjoy tinkering with the boats almost as much as running them, watching them race and reading about them from others like me.
Regards
