With great anticipation my first RC Boat purchase got its inaugural run.
Although the speed was not quite as fast as I hoped for there is potential for amusement. Wakeboarding G.I. JOE and obstacle courses may be in the near future. The nice thing about having at $40 boat instead of a $400 one will be my willingness to see it melt and or sink. We may soon see the start of the RC Olympics.
