Regrettably a bit small, but who knows, could be a laff

Well I think it looks like fun; I just bought one

Tim, let me know if it's any good and I'll follow suit. My lil sis has been on at me for ages about buying her a rib

So if the Jackeens throw a BBQ we could have power boat racing around Port Solenti

Cookie and Kitten have one too, but that one looks fast so might have to 2 classes.

Dont expect anything other than bath tub performance out of these things you would not be able to use them on any kind of open water.

That puts an end to my weekend plans about going over to Guernsey then.

Product update - ours has just failed.

After just a few uses its stopped working

not worth a drive back to the boat show to take it back though.

Never mind...

Oh dear... looks like you've made a "donation" rather than a purchase!

You can get these from the RNLI's online shop here: http://www.rnlishop.org.uk/shop/webs...oupCode=GIFLIF

- so that the RNLI get all the benefit of the deal, not just 75p from daves-trade-store.

I reckon the Severn Class looks like fun!

Just tried mine for the first time in the kitchen sink. It's a bit rubbish I'm afraid. THe right hand motor only likes going backwards so the boat go round in circles when go forwards running on just one motor.

Pitty....
