I have one of the Zig Zag 2's. I gave it to my son for his birthday he is 8 ,by the way, and he has a blast with it and he rally cant hurt it . he has run it at full speed right into a log and it just flipped the boat over and it kept right on going. my favorite moment was when we first took the boat out he was driving it about 25 feet from the dock and some Jerk ran over his new boat with a Jet Ski and it fortunately didn't do anything to the boat except a little crack in the plastic top nothing a little tape wouldn't fix, and a good right cross to the face of our !QUOT!nice friend!QUOT!. This boat is just a blast you can run this thing in just about any water you can think of it will take it all and it is actually a better racer than my Hammer it turns so sharp that you almost can't keep up with it even though I can out run it in the straits.
