Hi,
As I guess most here know, Howes have been sold out of these for a while. But whilst visiting my farther found two Seaports in Howes sitting in a corner, labelled as faulty at £15ea.
One had a "dead radio" the other "no steering", since the plan was to gut them it didn't matter. However we couldn't help investigating the faults. Between the two we found at least three faults before giving up and getting the wire cutters out!
I get the impression they don't tend to last too long in their original form. One Seaport still contained a letter from the original customer saying that he had purchased three different RTR boats from Howes over a period of time, and all had been faulty. I know they're cheap, but that's got to be bad luck! :(
