    The ultimate rescue boat: flip the boat around

    I am tired of rescuing my rc boat... yes, I am a terrible driver, and I drive just for fun at full speed until it flips around :-)

    I am thinking of making a rescue boat. Making a boat that can push or pull my boat to the shore is trivial enough, but it would be even better if the rescue boat could flip the other boat around in upright position.

    It could be a an arm with a set of servos etc etc, but that is a bit complicated.

    Any thoughts on how to achieve this...?

    A set of fork with a stopper to get the best distance to effectively flip the boat. pm me if you want more detail about my idea.

      Just a thought , but I use modeling clay from walmart and use 2, 3/4" square blocks of it spread in the back by the transom on my shockwave and it is 80 percent effective in landing it upright. trying to flip an object in moving water would be more hassle then anything in my opinion.
