Looks like this might have another use? Interesting. Remove the net and........

And it has out-board motors or do you think they are in the cats? I love the detail of the captain!!!

And not to take any thunder away from this because it is perfect already, but I also saw This on similar sites - the RC JET Marine Boat - It Dives!

I have one of the pool skimmer boats. They are slow but strong. And the radio range sucks. I plan to gut it and upgrade to 2.4ghz and better esc's and lipo.

So, the outboards are not "real"? It has a single motor? With a radio change though you would recommend this to be used as a "light duty" rescue boat?

[NorCalZ71]

It has dual motors. With tank steering. They are gear driven outboards that dont steer. If u replaced them with better esc's and radio its not too bad. I removed the front hoop aswell.

I seen this a while back and it interested me for the same purpose. After not finding a cheaper price I went to lowes and spent $10 in pvc piping and attached to one of my old brushed boats I wasn't using. I would like to see someone make this work for a rescue rig though, I think would be cool.. good luck

I thought about getting this. I need a rescue craft big time. But now I have gone ahead and purchased the Traxxas Villain that was for sale in these forums. With the steerable drives and reverse, this should fit the bill for a rescue boat. I plan to "fix it up" and possible paint it up as an emergency vehicle,or possibly Coast Guard. But, the PVC rescue boat first.
