hello,
is there any radio controlled water vehicle  that anyone would
recommend that would be able to survive serious poundings by ocean
waves and occasionally getting slammed into the sand?
thanks,
Kurt

I tested this boat hull.  Very sharp bow, can run in big waves.
Pictures taken at a small pound.  Waves bounce back, then interference
cause wave amplitude to build up.  This boat hull perform OK in big waves.

The vac-u-tug by vac-u-boat has been ran successfully in the Pacific.  They
have a video of it on their site getting hit by waves.  www.vac-u-boat.com
