For the money the tower turbo V is the best bang for the buck.
towerhobbies.com has them

For $100-150 theres not many options.

Sure you could get that ugly tower boat for $100 then theres this ugly HK boat for $50:
[link=http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11889&Product_Name=Warrior_V-Hull_R/C_Boat_%28420mm%29_RTR]HK Warrior[/link]

Got $140?
[link=http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11979&Product_Name=NTN-400_Brushless_V-Hull_R/C_Boat_%28450mm%29_Plug-n-Drive]HK NTN-400[/link]

its at least brushless and fast.

I had a few brushed boats now. I wont bother again. For a few dollars more (literally) you can have brushless.

If you order the $140 boat you can get the radio for $20 and a battery for about $20 all from one shop...

Just save yourself another $100 and get a much better boat like the shockwave or widow maker... something like that.
