I know this is a toy type boat but I was wondering if any one here knows anything about it? I am just thinking about using it for recovery boat and/or a toy for my son when he gets a little older.

If anyone knows anything about it can it be converted into a more reasonable R/C controls?

You get what you pay for.
I haven't tried these Nkok's before, but I hear that the little motor pods aren't much, and that they rust up. You could always repower it after that, might as well get an Atlantic Tug first!

Thanks guys, like I said I am just looking for a retrieval craft and/or toy for my son when he gets old enough. I do want the boat to work tho when he is old enough and if the motors are going to be shot by then well then it is not worth it.

Thanks
