Radio-Controlled Mini-Speedboat

Thinking of all the videos out there showing tragical accidents with speedboats, most of you are probably determined to never embark in one of those monsters. Just for the pseudo-thrill, perhaps you could try putting your Mini-Me inside this speedboat. And why not? Water fun is not just for kids (remember Kevin Costner "playing" in "Waterworld", the Hollywood blockbuster?). After all, the only restriction is for children under 6 years old.

It has a futuristic look, keeping the fundamental design of a speedboat. Even if it measures 6.5 X 15 X 29-inch (H X W X L) and it's approximately 70 cm long, your Mini-Me would still call it a monster. The tiny catamaran can go as fast as 10-15 mph. It won't scare geese swimming in ponds, that's for sure, but it could look pretty fast while overtaking your little yellow ducks that float silently in your swimming pool.

It's manufactured with a Twin-Propeller which provides huge thrust and it can be easy to control due to its Vector Push design. The little radio-controllable speedboat also comes with everything you need while being on water, including the 7.3 V 1800Mah rechargeable battery for the boat, and 8 X AA batteries for the transmitter. Maybe Duracell would consider changing their ad symbol into this red floating thing. Or, why don't they embark a pink bunny on board, eh?

It's available in red and yellow online for 39, 95 UK pounds (about 79 US $) from Paramountzone. If you buy it, your Bora-Bora pool sun-baths will surely be less boring using the mini-catamaran as a remote-controlled floating serving tray (be careful with the splashes though).
