help with getting new boat
I am trying to decide on a new electric boat. I am looking at the Aquacraft Rio EP the Pro Boat Apache Catamaran EP or the Turbo Vee 3 from tower hobbies. I have access to two small man made lakes. Something around 15-20 mph, reverse and 6 or 7 cell. I am open to other brands I just wantto stay in that price range. I currently have aTraxxas Blast but I plan on selling it. I bought it used and I dont care for it.

Hi ryan93civic
I can tell you that you will NOT get 15-20 mph out of the Tower Hobbies Turbo Vee 3. Its a good little dependable boat, but speed is not in it's best description.
A wise man once told me and it is so true:
Pick only 2:
Speed
Cheap
Dependable

The Rio Ep is not bad, and easy to do upgrade later. It has a 2.4G TS and RX making conversion to BL easier later.
Looks like mine can go 15mph w/ no problem.
