Yeah, those boats don't take a hit well!
I went to run my boats with some friends in Ohio and took a blow-molded kayak out to retrieve some dead ones. One person who thought that he was special was running while I was out picking up the dead wood hit the kayak right behind where I was sitting. The thing opened up like a clam! I think that he learned his lesson that day to not run while someone is on the water in a bigger boat. He got the speech from me about safe RC boating that day as calmly as I could muster up. Things could have been much worse for me.
