Mine enjoys boat rides. Doesn't enjoy driving the boat at all. Turned her loose in the middle of the river. Lasted maybe a mile then I had to take it back. I believe somebody else on the voat should know how to drive it. In case something goes bad. She didn't like the Stratos because it was too fast. The new boat she says she sits to high in it and feels like she is going to fall out. Maybe she will like the upcoming pontoon.
