That dont look too bad, but shipping will kill ya.

There are other places selling/ importing them so you don't get your head caved in on shipping.

Try:

M-Boat USA (http://mboatusa.com/shop/)


Btw, there were some issues with them being built up enough. Not sure if they've over came it or not. My buddy runs one and had to do a little work to make it strong enough.

Is there any other boats to consider that are around that price?

Rule #1 in this hobby: You get what you pay for. Take a short cut by trying to save a nickle & it will cost you in the end.

There are so many OTHER boats out there that are much better. Spend an extra $50 more than this boat and you can get almost anything on the market. Everything from an AC boat, Aeromarine, Enforcer (warehouse hobbies), Bonzi', Seaducer, etc. Names that have earned a reputation.

Here's a few examples for you. All it takes is a little time & research to get a quality boat. :)

Enforcer / Warehouse Hobbies price list (http://www.easycart.net/whobbies/Fiberglass_Hulls.html) Check out the Team PRO

Aeromarine Hulls (http://www.aeromarinerc.com/)

AC Boats... some of the fastest on the market (http://www3.telus.net/acboats/mono.htm) Best heat race hull is the Laser 45

The boats aren't too bad for the price. From what I've seen on them so far, their weak spot is the carb. Replace it with a good Walbro. Some driveline issues also but minor ones.
Expresscraft Boats has a low-dollar RTR boat out now also.
