Pros: Good run time - about 20 - 25 min. Goes about 10 - 15 mph. Good safety feature - props must be in water to run. Can't flip it over, even full speed with sharp turn. When battery wears down, you still get more than enough power to bring it in.Cons: Edges on hatch are very sharp, so when trying to remove/install the battery, you can get cut. Just dull it with a knife or something. Red trim looked like a 3 year old put it on.I'd recommend buying this if you've never had a boat before.
