Hi,

I am soon traveling to the US, My question is if there is somebody here who has any experiance of the Aqua Jet - RTR Gas Powered Boat??
Or do you have any other boat to recommend?? I have a budget of $ 350 and it has to have a motor of at least 2,67 cc.

Or is it cheaper to order it on the internet? Websites??

Thank in advance for all the help.

Regards
The lost swede!

I forgot a question:

How do you know or how do you choose the right propeller ?

Its a mystery for me!

If you posted in the gas section you may get a better opinion..

Use prop charts to give yourself a suitable starting spot.

I'll move this over to the Nitro forum as that's where this belongs.

It's not a bad boat for the price but not a great one either as one reason why is the exposed radio equipment. As for props, the stock one isn't very good. The Octura X-438, 438, 637 and 440's all seem to work well on it with my choice being the X-637.
Keep it clean of all fuel spills as the hull is fuel-resistant, not fuelproof otherwise it will start melting.
Gas is Gasoline, nitro is nitromethane, 2 different animals. What you are asking about is a nitro powered boat.

I own one & its a really good boat. Dont belive the 30 mph claim, will only do about 25mph. You can get it a www.offshoreelectics.com for about $220 & comeswith a carbonfiber prop & an .18 engine. You may also want to add a bigger fuel tank, the stock one will only give you about 8 min run time

The Sullivan SS-4 (Square Slant 4 ounce) tank will fit right in where the stock one sits.
The engines are a little grumpy until they're broken in, usually within a few tankfuls then they are great starting engines.
