I want a boat

[majin]

I want a boat and I kinda dig the traxxas spartan and the blackjack catamaran.
But I'm also sketched out on getting my first boat.
Ill obviously need a trailer for it but that will be later
I was hoping maybe some of you water dogs will chime in
We would be primarily running it at our resevoir so no boat wakes pretty flat.
I don't want small boat but I don't want one of those big 42" boats
I need it to be self righting
Any input is appreciated

You and I are in the same boat

You recently got a 3D printer right?

HillPrinties 1:10 Jet Boats on Cults
HillPrinties 1:6 Jet Boats on Cults

You have to print the jets too. SO freakin rad. On my long list of projects I want to do.

You need also need to consider getting a rescue boat,......unless you're ok with going for emergency swimming rescues.

You were supposed to tell him that AFTER the @majin goes swimming video series!

I was given info for others to consider. I already know @majin is just looking for any little excuse to go skinny dipping.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

He should save those videos for Mrs Majin!!!

Or consider training a puppy-monkey-baby to retrieve?

Very intelligent so I hear.

Could strap one of these on his head for long distance and deep sea recovery!

I would suggest Proboat, they have a few 24” boats that are probably great. I have the recoil 18 and I love it. Oxidean Marine has some higher quality boats that you build but they are of course, more expensive.
I started printing out the M-Jet Supersprint a couple weeks ago and I am waiting for hardware to build it. It’s about 18” as well.

....and a wife!

I bet she'll send @majin in if either the boat or the boy isn't back to shore in 5 mins!!!

@majin are you sure this is a good idea for you?
Its not like a crawler... when a boat hits a rock at full speed, it sinks to the bottom and ppl write songs about it.

Oxidean Marine

I wish you would have kept that to yourself

Holy shiit

No joke, they aren’t too friendly on a guy’s wallet. I ordered a prop from them that cost me about $30. $30 for a tiny piece of anodized aluminum.
I found a used Proboat on eBay that has been pretty darn good for my application.

No kidding. You need a spare boat to get it and then it needs a trailer.

I'm telling you, for the price, WITH a battery, it's a great first boat. ALL the dudes at my club were surprised by it out of the box and they all have the larger rigs you mentioned.
