I agree, go with the TV3. I have the TV2 and love it. It went about 15 mph out of the box and with a few mods hit 24 mph. I'm now putting a BL motor in it and added bearings to the drive shaft, hoping for around 30 mph now. It's a nice boat and easy to upgrade if you want to.

If you like tiny boats then I guess get the TV3. Personally I would spend a little more and get the larger 29" Aqua Jet boat before I would get one of the smaller boats you mention. The AJ has tons of upgrade possibilities, the quality is very good, it has much better drive set-up, and it can handle a much larger variety of wave conditions than the TV3 or the Blast. Yes it is almost twice as expensive at $169.99 but IMO it's well worth it. Even better would be the $199 version with the bigger 775 motor and a custom water cooled speed control.
