Customer Reviews: Great BoatAugust 21, 2010 Dis-Enchanted I bought this for a mate and he is very happy with it. Says it goes fast and is a lot of fun.
15 mins of fun!June 29, 2010 Jose Garcia V(San Jose. CR) It is a good boat, fast, agile and good looking... but you can only ride it 15 min, and then take it out and charge the battery for four hours, there were the fun stops. This seems to be a general issue on battery boats, i guess that if you wanna use it longer than that you need to buy something with gas.

It was only $32 when I bought it on Amazon.
A major point not noted in the instructions is that the motors in this boat only run when the boat is in the water (safety issue I presume).
Other than that, it's fairly high quality, quite durable (survives head-on crashes into the side of a swimming pool at full speed), and runs for about 15 minutes on a charge if you use the throttle modestly. And yes, this thing hauls !
Poor Quality, Not full functionalJanuary 9, 2010 T. Starkey 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Item arrived broken from seller (both propeller and rudder). Have other RC boats, and often they are rather 'cheap' plastic. But this is definitely poor quality plastic and construction.
Also, although the online description does not say this, the boat is not 'full function'. After reviewing the product, it does not go in reverse, making it rather useless in a swimming pool when it gets stuck in corners.
