Pirate Ship (Ready-To-Run Pkg) Review

(More customer reviews)Sliverlit RC Pirate ship
I have had mine for about a year and I bought from another vender. It looks pretty nice, if rather toy like. I have had mine in the water once and then put it aside to dress up later with some weathering and figures.
If you really must have a RC Pirate ship and the Aqua-Craft King's Ransom is too much, (Check out Tower Hobbies for the best price for that boat) this boat is okay. If you just looking for a low end semi scale RTR RC boat consider one of the others that I have reviewed as this one has some design issues. The biggest issue with this boat is that the battery access hatch is on the bottom of the boat, this would be no problem if getting a good seal was fool proof but it is not. The screws are particularly easy to cross thread making it very likely that the cover will leak. The sails make running the boat on a breezy day a challenge.
This boat is sold a few different guises some with white sails some with black or red sails. The simulated shooting cannon is interesting, but I am trying to think of another way to use that control feature, (maybe a water cannon?)
As far as overall value goes, that is hard to say. It is made fairly well. The key thing would be to find it for as cheap as you can (can be found for $50+or- including shipping if you look around on line). I think it included batteries but not a rechargeable one like some other RC in this price/ quality range do.
