I have a couple of the traxxas blast boats. I love them they are not super fast but can do a 90 deg. turn at full throttle , wash out and take off in other direction. plus if you kid runs it ashore at full throttle every hobby store has the parts, if it even breaks abything.

Minimono, fast, small and you wont get bored with it after 15min. Uses small 2200mah 3 cell battery that can be had for cheap.

If you get a prop drive boat be sure to use locktite on the prop and have spare props, shafts, rudders:lmao: I had a great planes stinger super sport when I was 13.

I had a Pro-Boat Impulse 26 and that thing was fun. I could use all the batteries for my short course trucks to run it, it was fast (20+mph) on a 2s LiPo, really good quality for an RTR boat. Roost behind it was about 5 feet long and 2 feet high...:lmao:
Some of the bigger boats use two 2s LiPo's back to back......Like the Traxxas Spartan or Pro-Boat Impulse 36...Run time on a boat is about 10 to 15 minutes on a 5000mah battery because you are running it almost 65% to 75% throttle all the time. So keep in mind what your power supply is.
The Atomic Barbwire boat recommended it a previous post is self-righting so if you flip the boat over it should right itself. The Impulse I had would crash and parts would fly off and sink....I learned to Scotch tape those parts on, but I still had to swim after it a few times....
