My dad flies RC airplanes but I could never get the hang of it but have been thinking a gas powered RC boat will be fun for the kids and I to fool around with while out on the lake. If RC boats are anything like airplanes, I know you can spend as much for accessories such as batteries, fuel, starters, etc as you do for the airplane. I visited a local hobby shop a few days ago and learned I could purchase a pre fab kit with hull, .17 engine, and radio controller for $229. Two kits are remaining and are marked down from $399 and therefore I perceive this to be a good deal. Does any one have experience with RC boats that can make an appropriate recommendation for a newbie? Helpful advice appreciated.
