Retriever

This custom-made model boat was created for the sole purpose of retrieving stalled craft in the middle of the lake. A big hit with other builders it features a model plane propeller for power placed above the water line to avoid debris and a wide design to straddle any shape or size model. It has proven nimble through trash bags or surface vegetation and has come to the rescue of many stalled or disabled craft stuck too far from the shore. Photographed at Lake Balboa in the city of Encino, California.
