We gave the gift as a birthday present to a 9-year-old, which may be a little young, but he and his 12-year-old brother, along with a bunch of dads, just loved it. It shot up a rooster tail and whipped across the lake. It lasted fairly well until one engine died, but grandpa was able to do a little wiring and it was back on the go. Will deal with this seller again. Anzo

We purchased this boat for something to play with in the pool during the winter months when it's too cold to actually swim. The boat is too large for a normal pool. The real problem though is the battery life of 7 - 10 minutes when fully charged. We charged it several times as per the instructions, but no luck - 7 minutes is all it was good for. We then took it to a local hobby shop and were informed that the batteries that these boats come with are only good for a short period of time because of the low quality battery and the the amount of power that this boat pulls from the battery. We were able to purchase a different battery at the hobby shop for another $25.00 to make the boat run about 45 minutes.

The 1st time we used the boat I was suprised how slow it was. It's faster in turns that straight on. After 5 minutes of use the boat only went in circles. After we fished in back into shore we discovered a propeller had came off along with the nut securing it. A little disappointing.

Thought this would be a really cool gift for my husband to play with on the lake behind out house. It looks sharp but performance is poor. And the battery goes dead after 15 minutes of play. My husband was very excited when he opened it, but after one use he wanted to send it back. They wouldn't take the boat back for the reasons listed above because they said those are things to be expected from all of these types of boats. It's been in the garage now for over a year after only one use. Big disappointment.

The boat is pretty cool on a full charge but the battery pack only gives you about a 10 min run time after 5 hours of charging (a full charge). The range is good on the boat and my 10 yr old son loves it.
