thinking about a BL boat purchase

In the past 2 weeks I have become very interested in BL power boats, I have done lots of research and instead of buying a bottom level RTR, I am thinking about buying a used boat. There is a BL boat club and one of the big retailer/boat builder is in my area. I have found a 10s lipo RTR and have seen a similar one in action and they only have about 5 mins of run time but its 5 mins that will drop your jaw....its is pricey @ $1400
