Check out the Black Jack 26 by Pro Boat, although plagued with computer (ESC) issues it does go pretty fast when it works! Provided you keep the electronics really really dry that is!! Check it out here!
When it gets full throttle which it wouldn’t do in this video, it will prop stand for over 20 meters, which will impress the bystanders. I bought the program module but it doesn’t always work properly. Also being a twin hull “Cat” means it steers like a cow, often resulting in a flip that will land it prop up. And that is when the hull will leak like a cheap bag of Chineese take-away and you get an appointment with the hairdryer for the next hour! Hence the reason I used gutter tape and hot glue to plug the leaks. Did i mention I love hot glue? Hey it’s rough but it’s ready!
This is the program module that you use to change the ESC settings.

Anyway it is all still great fun.

I am the owner of a blackjack 26 myself, on the maiden I was out in 12 inch chop and full out! the boat handles fair on rough water but your right, stay away from turning sharp. I wound up dumping mine and it fills fast even, the lunchbox, I relocated my antenna to the side of the boat and filled the old hole. sure wish it had a full enclosure like the impulse and the miss geico. keep boating!
