Default Rescue plane?

I would love to get this and use it as a rescue craft. Do you think it would work. I am thinking the gaff method, like the Proboat duck gaff. Enough power?

Anything is possible, but I think it maybe rather difficult. I would try something like this. The best rescue boat I've made has been a Proboat Apache 24. The steerable outdrive allows for awesome manuverability. I replaced the stock motor with a HPI Saturn 35T for more torque and use a traxxass xl5 esc. It's very effective and most importantly reliable. You resuce craft should be the most reliable boat in your fleet and always maintaned after all you don't want 2 stuck boats!

I am currently working on a airboat, edf rescue craft. 785boats I believe is the one who has an awesome rescue boat and inspired me to build one.

I have that plane. Never tried to recover a boat with it. I wouldn't use it for that... Nice plane and easy to fly.

I would like to know why you say you wouldnt use it for that? Not enough power? or what? I value your opinion very much as you are an actual owner of this plane. Which I would like to own regardless of whether or not I could use it for rescue. But yes, I would like it if you could elaborate a little please.
