what is the diffrence between mode 1 and 2
and what is better for the boats??

not so sure about mode 1 and mode 2, BUT if its to do with the computer mixing, usually things like tailplane mixing are on the RIGHT HAND stick, leaving the left hand for the throttle and rudder, (this is mode2), I use the 6EXA, again default is mode2, but my multi-shaft models have twin-motor control, for this i have in one boat, a V-tail mixer, the other 2, (yamato and nord icelandia) use the on-board mixing. to put the mixing onto the left hand stick I have had to select mode3, that has put ch1 and ch2 onto the left hand stick, an ch3 and ch4 onto the right hand stick.

thats basically all it boils down to, allowing you to use your on-board mixing software on the left hand stick rather than having it on the right hand stick

DSM2 represents an updated version of DSM technology,
making it possible to fly any size model with the convenience, safety and peace of
mind of Spektrum. With DSM2, the total latency of your radio system has been greatly
reduced, while the bit-rate has been increased. When combined, these improvements
provide hobbyists with a faster and more locked-in feeling when compared to
traditional 27MHz, 72MHz or 75MHz radio systems. In airplane receivers, DSM2 has
provided a new opportunity when separating the two receivers. By providing superior
path diversity, the DSM2 receiver can now see a broader RF environment. On the
surface side, DSM2 allows for a faster and more precise feel on-track, making
DSM2-equipped radios the most precise radio you will ever use.

The biggest issue would be that only the DX6i is available
by retail, you can no longer buy a DX6.

Also, a DX6 will not talk to the newer recievers. If you are purchasing an
additional reciever, it needs to be the AR6000

ok so i buy a dx6i what about the servos? will any old servo do, or
do i need a new style servo. i see the dx6 comes with 4 servos

Mode 1 and 2 are primarily for Aircraft fliers. It's throttle right (stick) or throttle left (stick)...
I cant see it making a difference to boat operation.. it depends on which you prefer as throttle stick though.
