Several have asked "How does the tug handle rough water?" This is as rough as I could find. Stock tug, 7 cells, top of cabin is sealed with tape and a flat piece of plastic. Rear hatch is sealed with tape. Pilot House is taped in place. Receiver & ESC are wrapped in a paper towels and put into rubber balloons, just in case. Antenna wire is taped to the inside of the cabin. Check your hull/deck seam for openings before trying this! The relatively low power makes control challenging. The goal is to make it past the breakers out to sea. Avoid swimmers! Have a look.
