CEN Aqua Jet
The CEN Aqua Jet rc boat is a popular choice for those looking for a fast fun 'sport' boat or a quality entry level racer.
It's a very sleek looking shallow-vee hull speedboat that has been designed for novice racers, but of course many experienced rc boaters are having a lot of fun on the lake with this model!
The Aqua Jet can be purchased in a variety of versions. The RTR (Ready To Run) model is the best choice if you're keen to get out on the waves in the least amount of time, or a 90% assembled ATR version is available which leaves you having to install radio gear and motor.
Also, electric and nitro versions are both available, so this great looking boat suits whichever preference you have.
The electric version comes with a 550 or 775 motor, the latter giving a top speed of around 20mph while the much more powerful nitro version has a .16 (2.67cc) water-cooled marine engine with re-coil pull start which can push the boat along at speeds of 30mph or more.
Below are some pictures of inside the hull of each version, the electric on the left and nitro on the right:
Other features of the Aqua Jet include:
- Build in water resist radio compartment
- Foam floatation included
- Legal size for 8-14 cell competition (electric version)
- Tuned pipe for nitro racing available
- Direct shaft system
- Reinforced hull
