Thoughts on these used boats?
I am looking to get back into the hobby (had a Dumas Deep V/Zenoah 20 years ago and Miss Geico recently), and leaning toward a gas boat due to the large size of our lake, run times, and ease of operation.
I saw these boats on the for sale section, and was wondering the thoughts of the experienced guys. I am looking for 50 mph ++, and would purchase anything from a deep V to an outrigger. Trying to stay in the $400-600 range for a used boat. There are several locally, but they appear to be stock.

I own laser, although they do prefer rougher water, they still haul on smoother water, and that price is pretty good on the laser.
Out of the two, the laser is a stronger, better designed hull. That's the one I would pick. There is also a lot of set up info on them available.
