That is bad arse, congrats man...

Thank you. Yeah it is, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to run a boat. My disability keeps me confined and landlocked lol.

That was a horizon hobbies giveaway?
Yeah, it was a sweepstakes I signed up for a couple months ago. I think it is still going on.
 
Rock on! that is awesome. :)

I can't wait to see it. I still have to wait on some forms I need to fill out via snail mail, so it may take a couple weeks. This will be my first boat.

If you can't use it are you just going to sell it or keep it as a shelf queen?

I have been thinking about that. I think I would like to keep it. When my son gets a little older he could always take it somewhere and enjoy it. And selling anything these days means paying ebay and paypal a ridiculous amount of money. Maybe if I could find someone wanting to make a trade 🤔
Buy a trailer and pull it. Thats really the only reason I want a boat. 😂
This thing is massive. 42". I think it would need a semi to look right lol.
 
So........what's the problem?
Free boat... Hell yeah!
Batteries... $160
Shelf to hold free boat... $100
RC semi to pull free boat... $500
Tug retrieval boat... $450
This free boat is turning into a scam lol!

I could save a few bucks though, and get this instead of the tug 😜...

Is that flamingo, diesel powered?
It would actually have to be powered by a fat guy and a bottle of Maker's Mark. I don't see any way of modding it to accept an actual engine 🤪

And who doesn't need a $1 flamingo? Great find!
