At over 20 MPH it moves surprisingly well across the water, and the 14-inch size makes it easy to transport without feeling like a tiny toy once it's out on the lake or pond. The self-righting feature is probably my favorite part because flipping an RC boat far from shore can quickly ruin the day, and being able to recover it without going into the water is a huge advantage. The controls are responsive, the boat feels stable at speed, and the overall build quality is good for a ready-to-run setup. I've used quite a bit of RC equipment, and this strikes a nice balance between being simple enough to pick up and enjoy immediately while still having enough performance to keep it fun.
