I have to say, I am very impressed with this product. The design, engineering, performance and aesthetic are all top notch for what I consider an extremely reasonable price point. It looks amazing cutting through the water, handles great and is very, very fast for not being a much more expensive pro kit. The water cooled electric motor seems like a great feature that was executed quite well. Based on a close inspection of its manufacturing quality and several uses I would certainly buy this boat again for myself or as a gift and would recommend it to someone else without hesitation. I like it a lot!One note that may help: Do please take advantage of and use the thoughtfully provided rubber nose guard included in the packaging if you plan to use this boat in a vinyl lined swimming pool. The acceleration is impressive and even if you are a good and careful operator you will likely puncture your liner at the waterline if you do not utilize the included rubber bow guard. (Not mentioned in user's manual but included in the box and obvious contemplated use/installation)I took the time to compare this boat to all of the other offerings on Amazon at the time and it was the obvious choice. Having received and used it, it has exceeded my expectations in every respect. Great product, great value and lots of fun!

I'm a gear-head. I love machines and toys. I am NOT an RC guy - just never got into it. A serious RC person might poo poo this little thing, but it is above average in my book for entry level toys. This thing hauls!!! I bought it for my pool. It's too fast for my pool, frankly, but I'm not upset about it. It can go slower if you drive it slower, but it's so much fun to hit the "gas" and see it launch, that you're going to want to do it over and over. Some of my takeaways are:- Buy spare batteries if you plan to run it in a pond, or if you have a big pool - It comes with two, and they recharge fast. In my small pool, one battery lasts a long time. The controller gives little (loud) beeps when the battery is running low. You MUST pay attention to this in a big body of water, as when the battery is done, it's done. You'll get one last warning where the beeps keep coming until it dies, but you've got maybe 30 seconds until it's cashed.- The controller has quite good range and the boat is very responsive. If you are going to test the limits of range in a pond, it would be wise to have a boat or some other method of recovery ready.- If you are new to RC toys, you should prepare yourself for wanting more. It is seriously fun. I find myself grinning ear to ear when I'm playing with it.- The boat comes with a little rubber cover for the nose (bow) of the boat. I made the mistake of throwing it away, because I thought it was just for packaging. If you run this in a pool, you are going to want this BUMPER on the boat to protect the hull. It's fast; you WILL hit the side of your pool and mash the tip of the hull without it. Fortunately I was able to order a new one on Amazon.- Boat comes with spare parts - which suggests it is possible to damage things - but also that it's a quality enough toy to account for that.BOTTOM LINE - IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THESE - BUY ONE!!!

Pros: It does work well out of the box, easy to set up and get started. Responds quickly with the controller. If the boat flips upside down, you can move the joystick quickly and get it to get back right side up.Cons: My wife bought it for me during the winter months for my birthday. Took it out early on a nice day and had fun. The batteries do not last long. Had to get in a kayak to retrieve it. Put it away until now (spring) trying to use it a second time. One of the batteries will not charge. The boat is making a screeching noise. Brought it back to shore and turned the controller off. Something inside the motor will not shut off. I disconnected the battery to get it to stop. I thought this would reset it. Plugged the battery back in and the motor started running again. Too bad, I am out of my return period and it doesn’t work after my second use. I would not recommend this particular boat for this reason.5/5/2020The supplier reached out to us after the review. They indicated they wanted us to be happy with our purchase. They offered a full refund, or a new boat. Since they were so polite and offered such great customer service, I decided to get a new boat. They quickly sent me a new one. So far so good. I am really pleased with the customer service of this supplier. Thank you for being so helpful and giving us a product we will enjoy!

Cool little boat...faster than I thought it would be for the price. The remote was easy to use, my 8 year old Daughter got the hang of it in less than 10 minutes. The battery life is also better than expected. We played with the boat for 20 minutes twice on 1 charge before it started to slow down. The only thing I would improve on the design is slightly tighter turns at a slower speed but I'm not complaining... I would have loved 1 of these as a kid. I think I'm into it more than my Daughter.. It was supposed to be a birthday gift for Her.. not me. I don't regret spending the $ on this boat at all, well worth the price. Very responsive customer service too.

This boat is pathetic my nephew used it maybe three times and it stopped working. I bought it roughly a month and a half before his birthday he got it used it maybe three times and it stopped working my sister made me aware of it a few weeks after that by that time could not return it. This is most definitely a $5 remote control boat that they are charging a ridiculous amount of money for for the brief few moments it did work it was great but that means nothing if there's no longevity. Don't waste your money buy something else this is a piece of crap! I wish I could return it but I can't because the time Lapsed.
