Title: Falshöft Police boat
Post by: hama on August 04, 2014, 11:52:52 am
Hello!
Bought this Carrera Polizeiboot to play with the kids during holiday, with the obvious goal to convert it later on. It's a really nice boat, scale like and very fast. It has two surface piercing props and no rudder. All or nothing on the throttles. Long run time and handles waves very well. Looking forward to upgrade this boat in the winter. The Seaport tug is still alive and kicking after many years and this could very well be the same.
All the best!

Looks like a good little mover.

I'm quite tempted to get one myself. Thanks for posting up!
