Advice needed

Hi I found this model below available to buy for EUR200 new and my question is, is it worth it? I never had an rc boat. So far my experience is only with a leisure fun with a Thunder Tiger Hammer S50.

If you can tell me guys is this something that will bring me a fun and is the price really good?

Two hundred euros for a five hundred UK Sterling models sounds good.

It doesn't say what kind of engine is inside that, or what standard of radio gear is included. Reliable engines start easier, cut out less often without warning, and spare parts are available for then when they wear out, or break. The engine is important in other words.

On model boats in general, engine models are "advanced" and electric models are " reliable/less advanced". For instance using an electric teaches you that batteries run down gradually enabling a run back to the shore. Engine models when fuel runs out stop where they are necessitating recovery. The water might be a little cold at this time of year! But somebody who has already done "smaller" boats will know a few tricks to make recovery of a stopped model easier without having to have a rowing boat nearly - like staying downwind where it drifts back if it stops, avoiding weeds which tangle props, rudders and impede drift recovery, and similar tricks.
