I have a cheapy "deep sea hooker" rc boat that we use down the beach. It has a guy in a fighting chair with a rod on the back that we attach a fishing line to and troll the canal. I've caught about 8 different species of fish on it. We even have little tournaments with it. It's a blast.
I have a friend that built a nitro boat. Ungodly fast. It was amazing.
I had put together a Dumas balsa nitro hydro boat years back. Looked similiar to this:
That require this type of engine:
But I couldn't afford the engine at 13/14 years old so I ended up giving to my friend's dad to finish.
These things are INSANELY fast, clocked at well past 55mph on the water. I remember seeing guys play with these out at the lake and actually being in a ski boat trying to chase them down around the lake.

I have built several R/C sailboats, I used to be very involved in the hobby, as the lake by my old house had regattas every weekend.
Since moving a few years ago, I can't seem to find the time to go sailing anymore, so they sit in my garage.

At ~15' my boat FEELS like an RC
