What is the difference between hobby radio control boats and toy radio control boats? (more guides below)

Electric Radio Control Boats Buyer's Guide
Before you buy, look at the main features list below:
One motor vs. two motor- One motor boats will be steered by a rudder. The rudder allows for very quick turns. Two motor boats will not turn as good, but can go in shallower water than boats with rudders.
Size- This depends on where you will drive the boat. If you are planning on driving it through waves, a bigger boat will be better. If you are going to drive it in ponds, then get a smaller boat.
Brands- Buy from Traxxas if you are looking for a big boat: they offer spare parts for their boats, and water proof their electronics!
Where to buy the Electric Radio Control Boat- Your local hobby shop, or online from a trusted source as a RTR (ready to run) package. MAKE SURE THEY CARRY SPARE PARTS FOR YOUR Radio Control AND YOUR RC IS NEW IN THE BOX!!!!!!!
