DEERC RC Boat with LED Light, 30+ Mins, Self Righting Remote Control Boat for Pools & Lakes, 20+ MPH, 2.4GHz Racing Boats, 2 Battery, Pool Toys for Kids, Radio Controlled Watercraft

Good battery life, and water proof. Just make sure the gasket inside is seated properly. I did not have it all the way done one time and it allowed a bit of water in. The boats pretty quick, and range is pretty good. We used it in one of the little retention ponds with the fountains. I considered trying to send it all the way across but didn't want to find a way to fish it out if it lost communication. 50ft or so seemed solid.

It’s great! My son plays w this boat on our lake almost everyday!!! The battery dies a bit quick but we just recharge and go again 👌🏼

This boat is really fun to run on a large pond or lake! It runs and turns fast! It does seem to have to be already running in order to turn sharply and not when it is just starting to move. I haven’t tested the self-righting feature, but it hasn’t turned over yet, which I believe is by design. Be sure to keep it away from any kind of shore with plants/weeds at the shoreline. The remote has a trim dial, which can be turned left or right to keep the boat moving in a straight line. There is also a button on the remote that controls LED lights (really cool at night!) and also allows for a figure 8 demo. There is also a speed control dial on the remote. The boat will not turn on until placed in the water and there are slightly exposed screws on the bottom of the boat, which probably completes the electrical circuit to turn the boat on when placed in water. The instructions will provide more details. The silicone bow protector (glad it’s included) is white and might be easily overlooked in the white styrofoam packaging, although the packaging is done very well, keeping all parts safe. The stand is nice and protects the rudder/propeller area, instead of the boat laying directly on a surface when not in use. A screwdriver, extra propeller and a few other small parts are also included, in case they are needed. The only thing that could be better is to include two chargers; one for each boat battery pack (the remote uses 3 AA batteries that aren’t included; the boat uses one battery pack - 2 are included). Customer Service has been patient and excellent! This is our second boat, as the first boat didn’t seem to turn properly (wouldn’t make sharp turns) when the instructions were followed. The company sent a replacement rudder motor, but that didn’t work. Then, they sent a full replacement and the new boat turns properly. Keep in mind that the company may take overnight to respond, due to an apparent time difference. But they will respond and will go out of their way to resolve any issues to the best of their ability!

This is a fun, fast little boat. The 2 battery packs kept it going for a good 30 minutes (I didn't officially time it.) We read the directions so changing the batteries was easy, and the controller beeped when the battery was low. There was about 1/8 cup of lake water on the inside when we changed the battery, even though it is advertised as waterproof, which is why I'm rating it 4 stars. This did not seem to effect the parts, but bears watching as we don't want it to sink. It turns sharp.

Used 5 times in the fall after I got it. First time on the water this spring it the motor just hums, and the propeller won't spin. Support says I'm out of warranty and sent me a link to order a new motor. Quality is seriously suspect.

The media could not be loaded. I really like this boat! It worked perfectly on the lake at our cabin just off the pier! There was very little to no setup required with the exception of charging and installing the batteries in the boat and remote controller. It definitely attracted the attention of the neighbors and boaters who were nearby. In a good way!Product arrived within a few days of ordering. There was some minor cosmetic damage to the box as seen in photo. However, the contents inside appear to be in excellent condition. The boat, remote control, and batteries look very nice. I also like the included stand which is great for displaying the boat when not in use. Both batteries charged up without issue. I must say I really like the idea of getting two batteries included with the boat. Less down time and more fun! Which is something you don't always get with a 'cheaper' product! The boat itself is pretty fast, very responsive to the controls, and handles great in the water. It seems to have quite a far range capability. In actuality when I wanted to see how far away I could take it I had to turn around because I couldn't see the boat very well anymore - not because it was out of range! Its a lot of fun taking tight turns and jumping the waves from passing boats! The boat does best in calm water that is free of weeds/vegetation. The boat was still manageable in rougher water but was BEST on the calmer water found in the early morning or the early evening. At least on the lake that is! I suspect a smaller pond or similar would be optimal conditions at all times but have yet to try it.Overall this is an excellent purchase, especially given the price point! The boat can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So far I have had someone as young as 2 (with some assistance) and someone as old as 60 drive the boat. I don't know who was smiling more my 2 year old son or 60 year old grandpa? 10/10 I would recommend this product to someone who is looking for an affordable way to get on the water for some fun! Hope to purchase other DEERC products myself!
