Proboat if going electric. Make sure you go brushless, good batteries and a good charger are probably the most important things.... I race RC in the winter.

I really want the Traxxes Spartan! That things a beast. I had a Miss Budweiser hydro years back and that was fun. Towerhobbies.com was always the biggest name in RC stuff but also check locally for a hobby shop. May be able to beat online prices?

I have a Traxxas Spartan. It's pretty fun, but the batteries are stupid expensive. $75 minumum for the Li-Pos, and if you flip it, and one flies out, that REALLY sucks.
Ask me how I know that.

Check out the Aquacraft Revolt 30. Great performing brushless 30" V-hull. I got one last year and began tuning by playing with the CG, strut height and experimenting with props. Got a prop balancer and mini belt sander for sharpening. Currently running 45+ mph and it handles great and responds to changes just like a full size boat. I run 4S lipo batteries. Search Revolt 30 on YouTube. Some guys have upgraded to 6S and they run on the edge of any control at 65+ mph! Good luck, these electric boats are addicting.
