Traxxas villain
Pros:
Venerable boat - good performance, proven design, many, many upgrades and refinements over the years, you won't go wrong.
Cons:
Not the worlds most advanced designed hull form.

Joysway Off-Shore Warrior RTR (brushless)

Pros:
All in the box, very powerful set-up
Cons:
Not the worlds 'prettiest' boat! Limited options and parts.

And don't forget Mat, Other lake users may be driving Fords and Vauxhalls, not a Ferrari  :-)) and they may have been driving for years.
