I got this for my son and it worked 2 times then the engine burnt out. Even in the calmest waters it takes on water that needs to be constantly drained. Expect less than 5 minutes of run time before the batteries die and need recharging.... INSTANT LANDFILL. Cool looking boat if you want to keep it out of the water. The water tower broke off quickly as well. Cheaply made....

I bought this for my husband for his 71st birthday. We live on a small lake and he has had a thing for tugboats all his life. We enjoy running it and have a great time. The only thing is it would be nice to have a longer battery charge. 20 minutes is not long enough for us. We love this tug. You never lose the kid in you. Thanks for the fun.

Don't buy this tug boat!! I recieved this to give to my son for his birthday and it left him in tears. He put it in the water the first 30 mins after having it and the motor would NOT turn off by the switch or the boat when he pulled it out of the water. There for we had to open it up to un-hook the battery so the motor would not blow up. My son was so anticipation to get this, but was let down and left him upset. I read the reviews and it all says it, that the motor will not turn off. Reluctantly I took a chance, but regretful now. I strongly advice it NOT TO BUY this product!! Mom and dad's nightmare as a gift.

Ours arrived damaged and incomplete. There was foul smelling water that came out of the water spout before we ever put it in the water. The metal spools for the rope were rusty. Not all lights were functional. I will never buy anything from this company again. Instant landfill indeed!

My husband has always wanted a fire boat and this fills the bill to a tee! It has so many realistic accessories and the battery is rechargeable. Great value for the money.

This item is very complete and enjoyable,except the running lights are reversed on the top of the pilot house.

This tugboat worked great for about one week. Then for no known reason it reduced its speed to 10%. After I asked for repairs,the company graciously accepted the boat back with a full refund.The boat was such fun I have re-orded with the hope that the next boat will last longer. Call me an optomist.

My seven year old is absolutely obsessed with being a ship captain since we came back from our cruise. He really wanted a remote control cruise ship, but since I couldn't find one (for under $3.5K at least) he said this looked like fun. This RC tugboat did not even last an hour! It started listing pretty bad and the pump that fuels the water cannon completely flooded the hull. Do not waste your money. To make matters worse, the boat continually runs, with the power to the boat turned off as well as the remote...and of course you get a nice shock when trying to take out the battery. HORRIBLE TOY!

this is a ok rc tug boat, but don't try to make upgrades, it to hard to get all the wires and if your not careful you well break one, so i say just leave the boat stock, and just enjoyed it that way.
