I offer the following advice on choosing the correct boat, I have run Multi,
Sport/Offshore, cats, riggers and monos
| Beginner |
Sport or Offshore boats, a simple hull with a basic, cheap,
engine. For competition offshore type boats usually run race type engines. |
| Some experience with RC Sports boats, Cars or Planes |
A mono with a high performance engine (CMB, OPS etc) up to 45
would make a good choice. These boats can be set to turn both left and right and tend to
flatter the skills of the driver. |
| Experience of fast RC boats, cars or planes |
A large, 90 or gas powered, mono will take a lot more setting
up than the smaller monos but if done correctly will result in a very impressive and quick
boat. Alternatively
A Cat hull such as a Sprintcat together with a suitably sized high performance engine
will give a fast boat with good handling. |
| Experience of a fast cat or mono |
A well set-up rigger gives a very fast and exciting drive. Even
a well set-up rigger will not be as manoeuvrable as a cat, most riggers will only tolerate
slight left adjustments to course.
Riggers will not run slow and are a very bad choice for the beginner. |
