Had a quick look around and had a chat to mate who runs boats regularly with the ampba in Penrith and looks like your going to have to spend at least $300 for even a cheap brushless RTR boat.
CEN have one called the Grey thunder. Its a mono so it should run on your lake without problems but its $275 with no Batteries or charger. There are some brushless Hydros on ebay but i'm not sure of the quality.
Have a good look around the net and you might find something a little cheaper.
have to say the supervee 27 is a good choice. I got one and handles well and takes a bit of chop no problems. Resonably cheap now too. I picked mine off the forums for about 200 i think it was.
also they make a hatch for them with a bubble on it so if you roll it, it will roll back upright n keep driving. saves going out to get it lol
mate go to hobbyking and regester and have a look at the princes brushless iv got one and love it handels rough water go,s well and well priced and well made good running gear best of luck
As mentioned above i got one of the carbon fibre mini boats with the brushless set up. once you get the setup right thay can really move and be some fun. Quite cheap too if you look around.
Mate check out Hobby King with the boats from the Aus Wharehouse. The Genesis or the Apparition cats are a good buy. These run well out of the box and are easy to upgrade later. I have run both boats the genesis will run all day at over 70mph and the Apparition has touched 85.6 mph. They are ton of fun and if you have the water start tearing it up.

I have had a Genesis on order from Hobby King for around two months. They do not know when they will be in stock again. They say they have contacted their supplier and they are unable to tell them.
Does anyone know who the actual manufacturer is? To you guys who have one, is there any manufacturers name or info on the instructions. I was going to try and contact them direct to find out what the story was regarding the delay.
apparently tiny the genesis is good for 130k's out of the box as is according to the HK staff down here at taren point.... was gona buy one, $400 with radio, upgraded ESC and 2 sets of batteries and servo and charger...... bloody steal if you ask me
I had a SV27 and foudn it to be quite stable. Had some extra weight up the front n it was pretty quick for a small boat. Only reaosn i got sold it was I needed to make some room lol. Otherwise would of kept it.
Also Tiny I have clocked my gas boat at 85kmh and that was with severly bent prop n rudder.
I will chuck some pics of the prop up one day.
