Here's another Aliexpress boat, I got inspired after seeing another build on facebook. I don't have the skills to meet his build but I figured I'd give it a shot. For $20 CAD I couldn't say no. It's even smaller than the tiny 686 tug!

I gutted the electronics and replaced the receiver with a small all in one unit with dual esc and steering mixing built in. Due to the funky channel assignments on the board I had to use my Radiomaster MT12. The stock 100 mAh battery was replaced with a 250 mAh to enhance runtime and ballast.

I added mast and navigation lights, the mast lights are switchable between off, white, and red. The factory spotlight was retained and put on a switch along with the worklight. I might make a new spotlight eventually and I plan to redo some of the details as well.

It doesn't like large ponds or waves of any sort really but is fun in a water feature type pond or in Little Canada's Bay of Fundy display (when the tide doesn't leave me stranded)
