(Note: The reviewer who left the comment has been refunded her lindens, and I've extensively tested the boat again. I'm not sure why it's not navigating for her, but I had a half dozen people try it with no problems. I apologize for her unhappy experience. If anyone else purchases the boat and it won't go, please contact me for a refund. Now go have fun!)

So often it happens that you are invited to a boating race, but you are just about to get into the bath. What’s a busy nautical sort to do? How can you balance your need for good hygiene and your desire to go boating? Simples! Now with The Clean Getaway boat, you can enjoy the next regatta while soaking your cares (and dirt) away. The Clean Getaway comes with two complimentary bars of soap in a generous dish, two plush towels (one draped and ready to dry you off, the other to cushion your tuckus as you bounce through the waves), and all the plumbing a porcelain bathing device needs! Happy boating, and don’t forget to scrub behind your ears!

There are no instructions, just a copy of the Marketplace description in the notecard that comes with the tub, so it's possible that I just haven't worked this out yet, but this boat appears to be more or less unusable. It only moves forward when you're in mouse-look. I've tried W, S, E, C, Pgup, Pgdown, 1, 2, 3 and the Up/Down arrow keys in 3rd person and it won't move. But in mouse-look, off you go no bother. That might be okay, but then you can only STEER the boat effectively while OUT of mouse-look.. I've tried A, D, and arrow keys..and it does turn while in mouse-look, but it's turns so slow that I didn't even notice it at first. So.. basically.. as a vehicle, this thing's a piece of crap. I'll give it one star cos it looks pretty good, and one because I like the bubbles.. but I'm afraid that's as generous as I can be in reviewing this. It's not a boat that you're going to take into any regatta as the description implies. It's basically just a bathtub that floats and makes bubbles.
