Thanks guys, I hope others will chime in with any experiences. The boat I am looking at is 36 inch long and is electric. I have seen a video of a small bass caught. I also saw a video where something big struck at the boat itself as it was flying across the lake and turned the boat over. In slow-mo you could see a large fish hitting it. I did not think about a large turtle though I don't think I even have any turtles yet but could be a problem later.I just think it would be a whole lot of fun. Boats only cost about $100.I have never even owned a r.c. boat.Will be a new adventure!

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
