This is a well made little boat that's great for beginners or small spaces.As awesome as this boat looks and runs, and as numerous as the features are at the price, I do want to stress that this is a small boat. The pictures make the boat look large next to the remote control or the batteries, but that image is deceiving. The boat is only about 10 inches long, so I'd recommend using it in a place that has less turbulent water. Somewhere like a pond, pool, or bathtub is perfect, as long as you don't have other people to worry about aggravating or injuring.This boat is plenty fast for it's size, and will provide lots of fun for someone looking for something like this to enjoy in smaller and less congested places. It's also got two batteries, which doubles the run time and increases the fun you can have with it. It should be noted as well that it is water cooled, which will help the motor and speed control to last longer.You'll also notice that this boat will right itself if it gets capsized, but this is a manual process that relies on the user to apply power to force the boat back upright again. This is common in many newer boats, and is a great way to help keep kids happier since they're not as likely to lose their model when it flips over.I only wish this boat came in more than one style or color, but that doesn't change how I feel about it at all. It's still an awesome little boat, especially for the cost. You can't go wrong with this one for an entry level model or one to take with you when you're traveling.
