RC Boat!

[davido140]

My 9 year old would like an RC boat for Chrimbo, as luck would have it the local park has a dedicated model boat pond, complete with some ducks to terrorise.

I dont think anything with a little petrol engine would go down too well as there are houses nearby,

any sugesstions for a half decent battery powered boat? I think we're talking speed-boat, not sailing boat! (Love to see his face if I did get a nice sailing yaght).

£100 budget give or take should get something decent??

Buy a boat kit build it together and go sail/float it, kids love getting involved.
