By: John G. Kelly | - Jet boats are a growing area of radio controlled boats. They are appealing as no propeller means their boat can't get entangled in weeds or hit the ground, both of which will bring you to a shuddering halt. Jet boats clearly have some advantages but they are not a panacea and have their own failings.
PROS

And by that I mean an electric model that's powered by rechargeable batteries. Why? Because electric models are by far the simplest to operate and maintain. The ...
