    I just picked up one of these and have prepared an old skipping rope and float to tow behind it. Drive out and circle the dead/over turned boat and catch on a rudder, antenna or other part of the hull then drive it back into shore. It also gives me an extra boat to run

    Tomorrow is the first test.

        Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q3A170oqJo . It might be a bit slow, but a couple of upgrading mods would take care of that easily...

                                    The cord wasn't long enough and the float took on some water. Back to the drawing board to make some modifications.

                                                    Some of you may have seen this before, but for those that haven't, this is what I made out of a kids foam boogie board & a couple of EDF's.
                                                    The second video is the fun part when it's not rescuing boats.

                                                        I have always wanted to use a paper boat as a rescue vehicle.
