RC Speed Boat Challenge: Wet, Reasonably-priced Fun
The RC Speed Boat Challenge looks like it could be a good bit of summer fun. The little speed boats look fast, but by looking at the obstacle course in the picture, I can fairly safely say that navigating it will be a challenge. It looks like good fun for kids and immature adults alike. The kit includes the racers, obstacles and the pool and will be on sale at Drink Stuff from May 2nd for the not-too-steep price of $79.

Minn Kota – Wireless Remote Control For Boats
Sometimes it sucks to own a boat and have to be near the steering wheel all the time, that is why there are small gadgets to help you. The Minn Kota is a compact and wireless remote steering system that delivers fingertip control from anywhere on the boat, literally.
Five easy-to-use buttons increase or decrease speed, steer left or right and turns your prop on or off with just a touch of your finger.
On top of these simple but great features the Minn Kota is waterproof, so imagine yourself taking a dive on the Pacific Ocean and controlling your boat simultaneously – sounds uber, huh? Lets not forget the floating detail, in case you are wearing the Minn Kota on your wrist and accidently it drops into the water, don’t worry because it will come back to the surface in a matter of seconds.
Price: $170
