Anyone have photos of 4862 Family Speedboat?
« on: July 03, 2011, 23:21:05 »
Can anyone provide a review of this set?  In particular, I'd love to see comparison photos with the old motorboat (such as in set 7646)?

Thanks in advance, Matt

I have it, but I don't have any of the old boats to compare it to, and all the parts are long since mixed with other things. :-\ All I can offer is this pic of it loaded with klickys. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's actually a pretty creepy picture ...  :-\

Look at his mustache.  Reminds me of "Ralph" in the olde 1961 educational film 'Boys Beware' - which we actually just watched this spring in university, by the way.

Anyway, I think the new boat Bonnie showed is a great improvement over the old one.  It looks longer (I dont' have the new one) and is more current and has more options to play for kids.

Collin loves to play with it in the bath. The design is great, and it comes with some great accessories. I do worry about the stickers in the interior peeling off after prolonged contact with water, but so far they are intact. Also, there is plenty of storage under the seats for scuba gear or a cooler. My only complaint is that the ladder falls off easily.
