vee would be best for choppy water....pic the biggest one, as the biger the hull, the bigger the waves it can take....all those hulls, dont expect too much over 45-50mph without using a full mod zen or atleast a modded one

Hi,
The Mono's will handle the rough water better ...
The cat will be fastest and lots of fun..
That cat is an Aeromarine Sprint Cat I Used to own. I built it . It has a Need For Speed Full mod 260 in it. I sold that boat about a year and a half ago for over $1000... I would n't mind having it back
Good luck in your search.. Tom H.

Tom is right the Cat is the fastest but, won't handle the big water Im selling a WHH 57 inch monster that will handle the big water fine and it will run at a speed of 45 mph. It has a full mod Zenoah in it and if you look at the for sell page here it's posted. You can hit on the address I post with the for sell item and it will take you the the pic's of the boat. I will be at the Winter nationals all this week so if you want it I will take care of you next week... price is set at 700.00 but I will look at obo also... here's the add http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=255127

From what I know of Dale Hollow, you'll want to make sure that you have plenty of floatation on board as it is a deep lake with sharp drop-offs close to shore.
The Cat doesn't look bad with the Aeromarine mono in a close second.

I agree. Also, nobody here seems to know much about them, so pick it up and do us a favor and give some details when you get it. From the info on the components, that part sounds good.

That's two votes- go for it! [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]

Around 5 threads on the same boat is a bit much, that's why some are now gone. On this site we call it spamming.
I didn't mind a couple of them but when you started another thread just to show shots of it then showed the same ones in already established threads, that's when it goes over the edge.
Understand that this also pushes other threads to page 2 unneccessarily.

Same question on another forum as well [:@] you like the Rico, buy it! Advice is and has been freely given but we cannot hold your hand and babysit you, only you know what you really want and what your budget is

If your budget isnt an issue, why not looking at something better like a Bonzi or WHH boat?

If your budget isnt an issue buy all of them ,that way you will get the right one. The ones that are wrong for you, sell them again, and the problem is solved, then you could also give us a good thread about the Rico

Default RE: PLEASE HELP WITCH BOAT IS BETTER????

well, if i did the math right, you could buy a quality bonzi, mh$, WHH, etc. hull, stick a full mod zenoah in there, add radio gear, and all the other stuff and not only have a boat that will do well over 50mph, but have a quality one that you KNOW just how quality it is..

and www.funrcboats.com has some good RTR less radio boats for reasonable priceing

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...ctid=ENFRTR150 (may not do 50, but it will get darn close to it, and will take chop)

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...id=AER1032RTRG (well, whats not to like about it?)

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...=ENFRTR800COMP (need i say more?)

here are some others

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...id=ENFRTRMAG57

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...ENFRTR1200COMP

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...tid=AER1133RTR

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...id=AER1133RTRF

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...tid=AER1140RTR

http://www.funrcboats.com/ProductInf...id=AER1140RTRF

does that help?
