I posted this Rocket Boat back in 2019 as an MPC boat and at the time I knew very little about it. It had come up for sale on fleaBay and I had never seen one of these before so I jumped at the chance to acquire it. After purchasing it I came across one picture on the Internet showing it in its original packaging and was able to determine that it was a Multiple Toymakers branded boat, not MPC. Apparently my boat was 'customized' by a previous owner (or the seller) with an incorrect MG (although the twin MG on my boat is a Multiple Toymakers piece). It also has the life preserver ring and anchor which is often times missing.

The photo clearly shows a radar mast on the bow, an American flag on the cabin roof, two figures, and the brand 'Multiple' on the box end.
As a toy this is great, but if this thing were to be translated to a real world boat I would be very hesitant to be a crew member!! I'm thinking this thing is for one-way missions 😲
