maybe try 2 get a 1 or2 person inflatable raft w/12 volt inflater,couple cheap oars [wal-mart]. this would be portable & fairly cheap,to bad about your neighbors wife! hope this helps, just a suggestion.yes metal prop sharp & balanced,lipo's,few minor rudder & plate adjustments.

Some uses a fishing poles One old boat racer to me to get a electric boat,attach a fishing string on it.then keep the other end of the string on shore. run you electric boat around your dead boat and stop you boat and pull the string on the shore side in.. By doing this way it wont put a strain on your electric boat motor...

thanks guys i actualy like your idea miss hydro i can even use a cheap 30 dollar walmart boat and i guess you make one loop around the boat it seems liek a sounds easy but hard to do procedure to hook the boat up but seems liek a cheap walmrt one will work since its only pulling fishing line and i coudl make it reel in with an old fishing reel

That is a fantastic idea...much easier than going out on the water yourself, and less 'stuff' to have to lug around. Thanks for the tip!
