@heartny Yeah, why even ask for suggestions for a name if they just say “that’s silly, of course we won’t use that” …
and from the same people that brought us Monty Python.
What a great toy to get in the winter! Kids will try it out in the bathtub for about 10 minutes before they get bored. Then it will be packed away in the back of a closet until nicer weather, only to discover that the 4 AA batteries have leaked and ruined the controller! Woohoo! What could be meh-er?
Don’t be fooled. Anything from “Sharper Image” is barely above the quality of the junk you can find at your local dollar store.
No joke. It is seriously the cheapest, mostly plastic Chinese knock-off crap you can buy. Learned my lesson years ago in a Sharper Image store in the mall.
@aciarlotta Back in the '80s, they were about 75% good but overpriced stuff, and 25% overpriced gimmicks. I remember when they stopped having much good stuff, and they started closing the stores not too long after that. I haven’t actually seen a Sharper Image store in at least a decade at this point
I bought this set of boats a year ago. Gave one away. I managed to lose both sets of propellers for the one I kept. I have seen little model propellers on craft sites and sites like ebay. Would someone happen to know of a set of propellers that fit this boat?

/youtube monty python you’re no fun anymore
practical gifs?
@bfg9000 maybe they are pictures of people buy stuff on sale?
If there’s no water nearby, you and your buddy can just throw the boats at each other.
I can finally stop telling Michael to row the boat ashore.
@hchavers Hallelujah!
I will still offer my proofreading skills for a reasonable price. Maybe an IRK every 6 months??
Whatever floats your boat.
Whatever
sinksfloats your boat!(Could be more fun if these were armed.)
@phendrick You sank my battleship!
@ircon96 @phendrick
You guys are cracking me up tonight!
@phendrick I am sure some engineers on here can tell you how to arm them.
Are these water drones?
Will these work in the snow?? Could you turn them into remote control snow mobiles?? I mean, Buffalo could use them if they did…

@bigkiskewl It worked! Your order number is: cantankerous-waiting-light

@werehatrack I used to be able to say that. Today when I saw that I was laughing too hard to even get started!

The non-fake reviews all seem to share a common theme: They leak and the propellers fall off.
As if road rage wasn’t bad enough.
3.5 hours to charge for 10 minutes of run time?
@rtjhnstn Just a little better than an electric vehicle.

Sadly, only 1 showed up
@dghemmer71 If you haven’t done so already, contact Support so they can look into what happened.

The boat and controller are unpairable!
I heard a rumor that the boat has to be in the water to pair. I may be a mark but it’s working in my sink right now.
Since these boats appear to still be getting pimped over on SideDeal, I’m going to leave this review of some other Sharper Image products right here.
OBTW, that battery-powered fuel pump? Exactly the same one is over at Harbor Freight for twelve bucks.
