Any more info in this vessel? Price, availability, capability, video and a link?HPR115 x2 ,Dark Horse Shovel, Delta Force CyberStorm, Delta Force Sniper 23-RTR:

I too have been curious about this vessel. The only place I know of that sells them is Engage RC for $257.35:
I wonder about quality when the advertised model (picture) has a broken mount at the base of the buoy.
Would love to know more...Comment

Looks like the mount is just unglued...Originally posted by Drag Boat Bob View Post
This would be interesting.... I've been wanting a rescue vehicle... Not really big enough for all our boats... but a cool idea.Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

I wonder if you could land a 450size helicopter on that landing pad and conduct a rescue at the same time. Neat vessel, but the proof is in the vid I guess.

I have thought about importing those but they don't have a long enough space between the sponsons to drive up over a boat and they're a bit pricey. After cost, shipping, etc., I'd have to charge a lot more than your referenced site.
If you get one, let me know how it turns out. I'm building a boogie board airboat ($1 garage sale) with a brushless airplane motor.Mini Cat Racing USA

Attach your line from your fishrod to the bouy.
drive the boat around the dead boat, have a small t grip or rescuehook
on the deck of the boat, if the line catches the hook/t grip, just use your fishingrod
to get your dead boat back.
Use the vessel only to bring the bouy near your boat.
that's how we do it.Comment

There was a guy I saw down at a fishing pier on the ocean that was using something similiar to this to FISH! It was quite a bit bigger...
He would lower the RC boat down into the water with one pole with heavy line on it. Attached to the boat, was a quick release mechanism that was hooked to his regular fishing line...
He'd drive the boat out away from the pier, way out there... Then with a quick tug of his pole, he'd release the line from the boat and it would sink down. He'd set the pole in a holder and drive the boat back to the pier and reel it up...
Was really cool, and seemed to work well....Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

Rescue boat video
Here is the video of this rescue boat in action:
The red and white wire loop lowers to hook under the rudder or other protrusion if flipped upside down and drags the boat to shore.
It looks like it might work fairly well if it is robust enough.SoCal Fast Electrics|H&M Drifter S-CC1512/4S/T180A|Aeromarine Scorpion 32"- UL-1/4S/HM200A|Insane 34- CC1515 1Y/4S2P/T180A|BK Bandit S-CC1515 1Y/4S2P/T180A|Insane FE30 UL-1/4S/ETTI 150Comment

So the candy striped wire( for a lack of a better term) hooks up to the prop or rudder and brings the boat in. What happens if the boat is upside down?Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

then you're screwed? LOL for a lack of better terms. Its ideal only on an upright boat, but not an inverted boat. A U shaped boat as pictured above is probably the best design for a rescue boat for both an inverted to an upright.

I still think THIS is hands down, the best recovery vehicle there is. (Built by D.Smock)
