The boat runs great, but the battery just doesn’t last long at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a few minutes of fun!
Fun!! This boat is fast and runs a long time on the charge. The antenna for the remote was not in the package and the company immediately responded to my email and shipped the antenna. Great customer service which will make me shop with them again. In fact, we will probably purchase this exact boat to race them together on our pond.

A fine reissue of a larger kit (14″ long) that goes together well. Suitable for Radio Control conversion with today’s micro components. Nice to see this old kit again so they should be snatched up at every opportunity. I should add it is difficult to find boat kits of this size anywhere because it is a rare subject (and scale; 1/82 is almost HO scale) for most model kit manufacturers. It is a kit, folks, not a prebuilt shelf queen. What part of “easy to assemble” do you not understand?
I bought this boat to replace another one that had broken. It worked fine, however it did not come close to reaching 30 miles an hour, and the battery lasted about 10 to 15 minutes under normal operating conditions. If you are going to buy this boat, I reccomend having the battery re-built at a battery store. I had them rebuild it using NiMh cells and afterwards, the boat ran for about 30 minutes instead of 10. (however, I beleive this voids the warranty) After about a month, one of the motors started working intermediatly, and now one motor works and the other one is busted, so the boat just goes in circles. After all the work I have put in to this thing, I’m starting to realize I should have bought something nicer. I’m either going to replace the motor, or give it a viking funeral in my swimming pool. -Patrick
