need help choosing a boat to by
i am new to boating i have been with the cars for a long time and thought i would give boating a try. so i am thinking about the villian ex, supervee 27 brushless, and a tower hobbies brand turbo vee 3 so any help on which is the best bang for the buck would be nice.

I just picked up a Proboat brushless Formula FASTech and I absolutly love it, it's freakin fast. It was about $300, brushless and RTR. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I also already had lipos and chargers because I also have many cars. I think Proboat puts together some quality boats. The Villain was my third choice but at about $250, for an extra $50 I figured the brushless Proboat was worth it. The Villain is a cool boat though. I looked at the Supervee 27 but the styling just wasn't for me. The Tower Hobbies Turbo Vee looks more like a kids toy than a hobby grade boat to me but that's just my opinion, it may be a better boat than it looks. You could also check out horizionhobby.com and take a look at their boats, they carry the Proboat models and a few others. No matter what boat you get I'm sure you will enjoy it, I have been in the hobby for about 11 years and never was interrested in boats until recently. I just wish I had gotten one a long time ago.

Not for you, this is your first boat. Not to offend you but you will be very disappointed when it is not set right up as your first boat. Take a smaller boat and learn how to set up a hull first before going larger (more maintenance!)

thanks but i already ordered it
thanks but i already ordered it. i have heard that on other sites but the reason i am not going smaller is because i have drivin other boats and mantained them. (borrowed my friends) i am not completely new to boating ijust have never owned my own.
