Kinda fun, cheap, battery life extremely short!
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Well, I got this boat so that I could pester the geese and ducks that hang out in the community pond behind my house. The first thing that I noticed was that the boat is extremely light. There are two small electric motors that control the two props independently and a NICD rechargeable battery pack. Ok, here’s the skinny: I’m giving this 3 stars because the boat is kinda fun and it is really cheap, but the batteries only last for a good 10 – 15 minutes and then they have to be charged for 5 hours. The charger that is supplied with the battery pack is not a smart charger, so you have to make sure that the battery is only charged for 5 hours and not more. It would be convenient to get a wall plug timer and set it to cut the power to the charger after 5 hours, otherwise you have to make sure to remember to unplug the battery before the 5 hours are up. Also, as one reviewer mentioned, as the battery drains one motor gets more power than the other motor, so the boat doesn’t go in a strait line; however, it is a $40 boat for cripes sake, so it is still fun. Anyway, for $40 you get a boat that is pretty fast for about 10-15 minutes. Hey, it sure does the trick in scaring the geese and ducks, so I’m happy with my purchase.

Good value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly powerful and fast – much more so than expected. Not exactly robustly constructed, but about what you would expect for the money. 40 meter RC range means you won’t use in large lakes, but lots of fun for ponds and pools. Very responsive to controls and relatvely small turn radius. Battery life is somewhat short so recommend buying extra battery. Purchased for my 15 year old and he loves it.

Boat doesn’t work

Boat will not run. Directions are very vague. Boat isn’t any good if it won’t run. No address of company on directions to send it back.

Good fun

This boat runs as advertised and is good fun for the kids especially for the price. On a side note, it is made of plastic, which is pretty sturdy overall, still one should be cautious not to run into obstacles that may be in the water.

Rapido, divertido y barato. No se que tan durable sea pero por los 28$ que costo vale la pena tenerlo y disfrutarlo con los sobrinos.
