Sweet tattoo on your cuz. He looks like my cuz.

To be on topic: If you ever decide to majorly get into RC boats, never get a Traxxas Nitro boat. I own the Nitro Vee, and I hate the thing. Can't wait to sell it. The pickup hose for the water to cool the engine is was to small, and the hull design just sucks. They have a "fork (as they call it)" to balance when you're turning left, so it's on the right. The thing never wants to go left because of it!

Traxxas Electric boats are nice though. Their water cooled designs for that are very nice and work great.
----
Have fun boating! Make sure you don't flip off of my wake!

my bro has that same one, he's had 2 of em and they both broke, and they're not that fast just to let u know, top speed on it is like when ur goin on the no wake zone in the real boat. i want to get a big fast gas powered one like my cousin has. it flys
