I'm after some recommendations for an RC race boat. So far I've been looking at the Hobby king Genesis boat http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/11240Genesis_Offshore_Brushless_RC_Twin_Hull_1045mm_.html

and the Hobby craft H20 formula boat.
http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/75604HobbyKing_174_H2O_Style_650EP_Formula_1_Tunnel_620mm_ARR_.html Has anyone got any other recommendations for around this sort of price marks? I'm looking for something that is ARR for around the £150 mark. Not looking at spending much more than this as I've not done anything RC for a few years now but is something I'd like to get back into but wont be my main hobbie.

Thanks

I'm not sure about the boats, be beware, Hobby King cars are cheap, break easy, and hard to get parts for, with long waiting times for restocking.

I would avoid them.

Thanks for the reply. From what I've read so far the hulls themselves aren't to bad unless you start to make they stupidly quick and have a massive crash. In which case you can't buy replacement bits. Everything else moto etc is obviously replaceable through other manufacturers.
