Looking at building a speed boat dont know much about them just wondering where the best place to buy and what sort of speed boat I should look at?
My plan is to build a fast brushless one something that can go 60mph+

Also I use the Spectrum Dx3r pro controller on my rc cars Im guessing with the correct receiver I can use it for the speed boat?

I can only help you out with the last part. Use the Spektrum Marine receiver as the others won't give you a good signal over water. I've seen guys try the regular ones and are lucky to get over 100 feet with them before losing contact. I've driven my buddies boat withthe Marine RX and it was very solid no matter how far I took it out.
60 MPH is fast on water, a lot faster that it seems to be on land. Pick a hull style that you'd like to go with, mono, Cat or outrigger then go from there.
