Basically I have been looking around and have seen various models of this type of boat. Has anyne any suggestions as to what is the best. The main 2 I am looking at are the academy 1/150 scale boat, and the nichimo 1/200 scale boat.

Is that the one with the motor? The nichimo?

From what I have read it seems both can be motorised

If it's the same model, it came with a motor. It's okay, it's not hte most detailed. If you put the motor in it, make sure to fill it with styrofoam, as it is too heavy and will sink.
