Heres some pics of a New Ferry2 that I converted to a rescue boat. Didn't work too good with the 'net' catcher, so made a better removeable catcher bar for it. Here's a video of the lighting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfhc7MFqHBk:Legend 36 sailboat, KMB Powerjet Ed Hardy Viper, ABC jet pwrd BBY Oval Master, ABC Hobby Jetski, NQD Tear Into's, HK Discovery 500, MickieBeez pwrd Jet Rigger!, Davette/Gravtix jet sprint, KMB Powerjet Pursuit, NQD pwrd Jet Catamaran!,Steam pwrd African Queen, Sidewinder airboat, Graupner Eco Power

Yeah I saw that thing too somewhere looked interesting.Originally posted by lomdel View PostI found this Pool cleaner somewhere on the 'net. Should work great as well right out of the box. Twin drive. Don't know about the range though, but Rx should be upgradeable... Just remove the front hoop or invert it.

DaTurtle Modification
I decided to add a ‘Pooper Scooper’ to enhance the retrieval capabilities of my rescue vessel - - DaTurtle. Constructed of PVC & Pool Noodle, it’s maw measures 14 inches square, & attaches in about a minute with two ¼” nylon bolts. It now should be able to handle any wayward watermelons that get loose in the lake.

The problem I have with my boogie board retriever is that the curved front just rides up over the boat I'm trying to retrieve. I'm gonna have to add some pvc/foam at the front I guess.

I have re-done my rescue craft again with an outboard. Works a ton better. I beleive this is version 4.0!If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!

I use a traxxas blast with an eyescrew screwed in the back to carry out a fishing line. The traxxas has a steerable drive system, so it turns really well slow. Nothin' fancy but works well...

Thanks for great and informative post, but I don't have one yet, so here go my only choice:

My RR2 sank and I had to dive in to retrieve it. Later it sank again but it was 40 degree! I had to let it go.
6 months later, I lost a hatch of my other Cat because of the somersault and I decided to dive in...and I found my BL RR2 too.
I took it home and cleaned it up with plenty of Corrosion X and let it fan dried overnight. The motor, the RX and the esc are still working! I only had to replaced the rudder servo.
I coated those with water proof 3M epoxy DP-270 of course.
I forgot to mention that the pond froze with ice surface covered for several weeks after it sank.
Any idea of rescue boat for the sank ones...
