Hello everybody, 
So my boat went outta radio range the other day. I had to call a friend, he brought a kayak out and we got it back.
I started looking into retrieval boats and went with this option.
The Pro Boat Retrieval Duck. This seems like a nice lil unit.
watercooled 380 motor
about a 40a esc
Pro Boat jet drive
7.2v battery
Spektrum marine radio with mr200 receiver
nice lil hull with watertight lid
This comes with a second lil duckling with a 3 outrigger gaffe's on it. The 2 tether together, so you can circle a stranded duck or rc, snag it and tow it back to shore.
The tether it comes with appears to be 8 lb. monofilament line.
I will change this to a length of 150 lb. sturgeon line, Yeah I like overkill.
I wouldn't run this in areas with weeds and alge though. The gaffe under the duckling might get caught and end up stranded.
For $100, the radio and receiver were worth that, the rest was a bonus.
For those who don't know about this yet, Enjoy, i hope it gives you some good retrieval ideas.
