Default reccomend a good starter eleccy (preferably brushless)

As the title.... a good alround type boat that will satisfy a newb to the boating community (have niro vehicles and brushless jets and a few helicopters so NO RC novice) Want to use it on a quite stretch on the medway river. Doesnt have to be insanely fast but a decent 25mph would be nice. Finally this will be a small part of my RC life and a birthday present from my missus so we need to be price contious.

Doesnt need to be brushless but would be handy if it run off 11.1v lipos as i have plenty laying around. I have NO racing packs so that will need to be brought in to the eqaution if so.

Many Thanks

Oh yeah any links or pricing for the UK please

im kinda new to boats as well. I think most people go with one of these 2,they are both RTR "just need batteries" and I dont see why you cant use your lipos,so you would be set.

My aquacraft supervee will be here Tuesday,I got mine from ebay for under $200 and with batteries,so you might want to look there. I just used those links cause they are the first ones that came up when I searched,but those boats range from 250-300 new. Check out youtube annd search these boats name to see people's vids,,they are pretty fast,25MPH shouldnt be a problem for these boats.
Sorry I dont know anything about the uk,,but im sure you could find these over there,Hope this helps.
