Any other boats I should consider buying?

Both of the boats you mentioned are great boats. I have a Genesis and my pop has a Geico. They are fun in different ways but the Genesis is a larger investment in the long run. I got the hull as a gift but have 300 in mine not including the batteries.

Ask yourself what you are looking for? Handling, looks, size, speed etc.

If you are looking at monos, I have a P1 King of Shaves and its a blast. All boats have their issues so it comes down to your preference of style. The Supervee 27R is another great boat with good speed and reliability. Good luck!

But since you are interested in the cats and racing, I would say get the Geico, turns amazing! You could wait til AQ comes out with the Motley Crew!!

I'am new to the whole FE boat thing but I have a Miss Geico and love her!! I run 4s and a X642 prop and it is a blast. the boat handles like it's on rails. with 4s i'am at about 40 mph. Gool luck

are u sport running or racing or just straight line speed

My Proboat Apache is my sport boat. 2nd boat will be for racing.

Also, I would like an offshore cat similar to my Apache.

Is your radio the stock am? I would get the proboat because of the 2.4 system

I already have a 2.4ghz system (DX3E and a DX3S). My Proboat Apache came with a Proboat 2.4ghz system, so no worries about the 2.4.

After doing much research and debating in my mind, I have narrowed down my next boat choices to the following for racing (In no particular order):

1. Hobbyking Genesis
2. Proboat Miss Geico

I am leaning towards the Genesis, because of price (Hull is $192.50 with hardware installed). I have a servo/receiver from my Apache which I could transfer into it. Only thing I would have to buy is an ESC.

I haven't factored in the cost of lipo batteries, because I know I will need them to run either of them. Just trying to stick with the cost of hardware only (ESC in this case).

With all that being said, are there any other RTR/ARTR boats I should consider? I am trying to keep it under $300 or so. I know it might be a long shot, but if I don't ask how will I know
