hi peeps my name is Gary and im from Belfast .. i bought my first rc boat about 3 months ago it was a PROBOAT 48 INCH CAT with 26 cc petrol engine ..


to keep a very long story short i got rid of it for reasons some of you might know if you've had the displeasure of owning one ..  RTR  {-) {-)  iv been into rc everything for 30 years so im not a complete noob but i cant seem to find the boat im looking for anywhere on the planet ..


granted iv only ever had one rc boat but iv been around them and fixed them for people over the years so i sort of know what im looking for ..


im trying to find a fast electric self righting boat and iv had no luck in three weeks .. the one i really want is the DRAGON SWORD 660EP but Dragon just seem to have disappeared of the face of the earth and any shops that still advertise them on the net do NOT have them in stock but still take your money if you pay them ....


iv looked at a few boats and none of them excite me at all and im looking for something bigger than what is available ... so can anyone enlighten me as to what is out there that self rights and is a good boat to start my electric boating career of with ? ....


thanks guys ....

Actually know the boat you refer to and I think you should give JP Perkin a shout (http://jperkins.com/) - They may be able to point you to a UK retailer  - You could try buying from the EU but that might be expensive at the moment  >>:-( as I have just found out.

I may have found one for sale in Finland, just waiting on confirmation.... however the shop will not ship outside of Finland (trust me I've tried)
I can investigate shipping it to my place in Finland and then forwarding it on, but be warned shipping prices from Finland are some of the highest in Europe. Especially on larger parcels

OK Try http://www.modellsport.gr/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8484&language=en


There is a few retailers in the UK who had it but all showing out of stock - it could mean it has finished its production run


Importing into the UK can be tricky, particularly if over zealous customs officers get involved. (Had packages delayed, damaged and destroyed <:( )
