4.0 out of 5 stars Very quick little boat!, December 11, 2004

My brother bought this for my 43rd birthday (yeah, I still play with toys!)It is a nicely built little plastic boat enclosed in a reusable carboard box lined with foam that cradles the boat and all its components well. My first impression was that it was really tiny! At 9" long it's easy to assume it's just going to putt around like a toy boat. But this little outboard moves! I drove it around in a large pond and it hunkers down like a bigger boat kicking a little rooster tail behind it. Really neat. The outboard prop does tend to attract anything floating in the pond though, so several times I had to beach it to remove a little piece of plant. It would do much better in a clean swimming pool. The 10+/- minute run time would not seem so short if it didn't take so long to recharge it- 4 to 6 hours!! I am an electric R/C plane enthusiast and my biggest lithium polymer packs only take a little over an hour to charge. With the charger technology of today, waiting 4 hours for a tiny battery pack to recharge is unacceptable. If not for the pathetic charger, this boat would easily be worth 5 points even at this price. But as it is, I give it a 4.

this boat is the best. it is so fast. it does not fill with water like other boats. it also looks cool. i was racing my friend who has a different boat. when his hit mine, it would only go onto its side and it would not flip over because of the plastic bar on top. this is the best toy.
