In Toys R Us the other night I ran across a cool remote control boat. It was a donzi 28 ZX. Santa may bring me one this year if I'm good.

Got one myself 2 weeks ago for Christmas also. Cheap ass radio controls but should be good humor. Toys R Us has em for 30 bucks or so. Actually they had a whole bunch of various offshore race boats that are this cheap RC stuff. Should have bought 2 of them then me and my better half could play "chicken" and race them. First thing that ya gotta replace is the goofy little plastic prop. Then put a bigger motor in it, then get some bling form Lavorsi. Suppose ya gotta make little trim tabs also. :propeller

Interesting. I'll need one of those for my boat collection. My question is, how does Fountain rate $41 to Donzi's $31?

From the pics and info on the ToysRUS website, the fountain is longer and heavier so it needs a special 1.9 volt battery pack and charger, which costs exta $. Ad shows the Donzi runs on 4 AA size batteries.
