I think he has a backyard pool!  Racing in circles!!  

Yo....... Doug and Rene I have had mine in the pool for testing.. Actually; this model employs an electrical circuit that requires the boat to be "in the water".... for continuity. Helps to prevent accidental start-up.. and possible injury from the propeller.

I "do have" a pond close.. actually the "Slatersville (RI) upper-reservoir" is at the foot of our cul-de-sac. The main-road is Rt 102/Victory Highway. Just 1/8 mi. up that highway there's a turn-off to a good-size gravel parking-lot and boat-ramp.'s a short walk from our house. A private club; visitors are welcome and a membership can be had for $30/yr. It's a cool little place really. It's on a peninsula and has a small pavilion where bands often play on the weekends in the summer... and a seasonal Tiki bar..

We've lived here for over ten years. I think I'm going to join the Island Club this year.





It's the "upper reservoir" that's just down the street.. literally. The "Island Club" juts-out on a peninsula near-to the town boat-launch area. Some of the boats I've heard running.. are V8 powered. The upper-reservoir has the public boat-launch/parking facilities. There's falls where the upper reservoir spills into the lower. It's nearby to us here. I've always loved waterfalls.

The lower reservoir has no public ramp for boat-launch. Good fishing.

It "spills-over" into an outlet leading to a stone-arch bridge.. near-to the Slater-Mill.
