Totally agree 100% !!
It used to be reasonable to run nitro, and in my heart, I will always be a nitro guy.... but you can't argue with the lower costs with running gas.
There is nothing like the excitement of racing a twin nitro hydro...makes your knees weak and come off the drivers stand shaking the transmitter like a crackhead...
Someday soon I hope they get the rpm and screaming sound out of the gas motors...until then I'm sticking to single engine gas boats.
I do have a few gassers, and I do have fun running them, but they just don't have the same thrill I get from nitro...
Cost wise my gassers are much lower overall, but I didn't get into boats thinking that any of them were going to be cheap...
Speed costs......how fast do you want to go?
