Does this boat allow you to control forward speeds or is it just full blast all the time?

Do not buy this product... not from Amazon or this supplier... it came with broken engines and they refused to give the money back. Bad supplier, bad Amazon service. I will not buy anything else from them!!! Be carefull!!!

Mattyd, It's full blast always. Mine didn't last very long. Grandson dropped the transmitter into the water. Bouts!

Absolutely. I love that boat. Do not over inflate. You will get years of use.

Yes and it moves you across the water so swiftly. This is such a good paddle.

From what I remember...No. It is the best, most well made boat there is! They even sell a small motor that can slide on the bottom of this boat and it can move around in bathtub. My grandson is 3 1/2 and have been playing with this is tub for over 2yrs. All playmobil is awesome.

It floats on the surface of the water, but once you stop you can't get moving again without something to launch from. Its not something you generally use far from shore.

I think the main issue is that some finesse is required to control the throttle. You have to open it almost all the way up to get moving from a dead stand still and then back off. Once you are rolling, half throttle, or about 8-10 mph is comfortably stable.

It will never be able to get up on plane and go full speed, this boat is too fast for a pool. You could go slower but until it rises in the water and gets on it's plane, it uses alot of battery and won't move very fast. (probably wouldn't be much fun) Also, when going full speed it takes huge wide turns, or else spins out. If you type in "7009 boat" on youtube, it will give you an idea how fast this boat is.

It pretty much just goes fast, does not have a slow mode but you don't have to put the throttle on all the way. still enjoying it after 3 months

For most people, this thing is plenty fast, especially if you're not familiar with brushless motors. This isn't something that you'd play with in your swimming pool. I would definitely take a look on youtube, there are plenty of videos. Keep in mind, the boat would be faster in front of you, for some reason I always think the boat looks slow in the videos I've taken.Here is mine on a lake in Willits, CAhttps://youtu.be/qk6b1Uho4lg

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

Yes, you can control the speed. Actually it is really fast. Not the greatest if you have to go up a hill. But my son love it and can't wait for the snow to go away here so he can use it more. Hope that helps! Best to you!

Mainly forward but a little down angle. There are videos on YouTube that you can watch.

When it has a propeller , it's pretty fast. I would think you have to hold it back in a pool unless you haves really big pool !

Yes it goes backwards and forward and the front wheels do turn. It goes really fast.

Use the hand transmitter to steer it. Mine sank before I could run it full blast. So, I really don't know how fast it can go. Thank you. Tom Kiebler

Yes it's very strong however I would recommend a slow speed of course. It's all welded seams and durable. We love this boat it's great!

It goes about 10-15 miles per hour. Fast enough that it is fun but not too fast that the kids can't control it. Also, it handles waves really well, even at speed. Purchased it for the grandkids but I am having fun with it too. It's a great beginner to begin-intermediate boat, I would say. For sure get an extra battery.
