Dark-Night, Bath-Time Speedboat

Intended to be printed from soft rubber-like material (TPE) to be more gentle to bath and children (not required). Product Features a hull shape that zips across the water and a vertical fin for little fingers to hold onto for zooming practice. Product benefits include rugged, unsinkable design with the appeal of a full sized motor boat. The hull is designed to have little tendency to porpoise and flip.

We printed several of these at the start of the summer and shared them with others. The kiddies played with them in the bath, in the pool and in the lake. Several parents passing by wanted to know where to buy them. Parents were impressed with how much fun they were to play with just add water and imagination. Old-School fun!

The other similar boats are made with the same basic hull so that the kiddies can enjoy having different designs, while enjoying similar zooming/floating characteristics.
