need help choosing an rc power boat

[winner]

well, 2 of my friends got into rc power boats up at the sailing club, i decided to join them. one has a really old boat and the other has a traxxas villian, im looking for a boat that would be faster then the villian, it must be able to be upgraded to brushless, and i'd like to keep it 1 motor bout im ok with 2.

edit, for got to mention, no gas please!

Doesn't want gas but moved to nitro? Moved to electric.

Lemme write up a post and I'll edit back with my thoughts.

Cheers,

Just to clarify, Questions/Comments/Complains/Suggestions is for Q/C/C/S about Xmodsource as a website, not RCs (Xmods, MiniZ, Associated, etc).

Cheers,

Forgot to ask these things:

1. What size are you looking for? Something approximately the size of a Villian or smaller or larger? Need your thoughts on size.
2. What is your limitation on price?
3. Since you don't want gas you're stuck with electric (unless you go by wind-power, which will never be faster than a Villian ), are you against brushless or for it? Also, do you already have any batteries for power or no (typically run on 7.2V SubC NiMH)?

Cheers,
Kyle.

1.im looking for aprox 1/12 to 1/8
2. price= around $500 more or less
3. and im a full on believer in brushless, gas is a complete waste of money to me.

That was going to be one of my suggestions. AquaCraft is a great company and many hobby shops carry various replacement parts if anything does go wrong.

i just realized that i can not get a hydrofoil or a hydroplane because of the lake that im on, lots of power boats and rast house boats to make waves, and a hydrofoil or hydroplane would get airbourne off a wave and crash, so deep vee's only plz!

thanks guys!
