RE: Best 1/8 scale hydro boats
It depends what type of hydro your looking for,if you like true scale maybe look at the roundnose hydros available.The zippkits rockett is a very nice one, i have one and they run very fast and stable 'over 65 mph with a full mod' and high 50s with a stocker.If you want all out speed then the whipplash is a good fast boat .The zippkits are easy to build and you wont ever be disapointed with them.I recently started building glass hydros here in the UK as i love these kind of boats they look cool and run fast .Stear away from anything poboat in my opinion.

I have the insane gen 3 hydro, and it is without question a great boat, fast good handling and well built. But there are several others out there that are also good quality boats. just to name a couple others. just a matter of how much do you plan on spending. They will run from $275- to $625 with shipping. These would be my other choices.
