(More customer reviews)I bought this boat as a toy but discovered it's really only made as a display piece. Here's what I wish I knew before I bought it:
- First, I should have taken the product description more literally. When it says "for collector's only" that means that it's not designed to be used as a toy. It says age 8 and up but that's only if there's an 8 yr old content to leave it on a shelf.
- The tin motor does function, but it's made from very thin/bendable tin and the fragile nature of it prevents it from functioning in water. Just the resistance of the water prevents it from spinning - when you lift it out of the water, it will slowly unwind.
- The wood is very dense and when in the water, the bow actually dips below the water.
- I don't think it was constructed with water-use in mind. After getting wet, the glue that holds the blue seats in the boat starts to soften and the seats will come off.
Bottom line - it's a display item only - not a toy that can be used.
