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.

Holes in bottom of boat for stand create a problem when the boat "takes on water"!! Overall a nice item but had to fill these holes so boat wouldn't sink.
Shouldn't have holes for a stand as it's less an item for display and more an item to use in water as it is a radio controlled boat.
A lemon,

It's obviously not a "top of the line" toy, but I expecteded it to at least work decently. Its packaging doesn't provide shipping protection and it was delivered damaged. The range on the remote is less than one meter. It looks neat on the outside but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.
