I managed to get this set online for a great price, and there is very little to fault it. The jeep cabriolet is attractive and wouldn’t look out of place at the local marina or at the beach! The Octan colour scheme runs through the entire set from the jeep to the pocket rocket boat. The jeep comes complete with long range aerial which doubles as a helmet holder! Why Lego didn’t add a bracket on to the roll bar to accommodate the helmet is beyond me, my set has this modification. The trailer, like the Wave Master set (6596) is utilitarian in its grey appearance and style and serves its purpose well, again there is no provision of a hauling winch but a minor niggle. The boat is colourful, clean and unfussy. The small cockpit seats just one minifig with a headrest and Octan colour-themed outboard motor which, unusually does not pivot on a bracket. Let’s hope shallow water isn’t encountered!This is a great little set which is attractive and pleasing to build, I could really imagine the skipper stirring up the waves, and some trouble, in this boat.
This set is a great one. I especially like the Octan color scheme. I customized mine with red round brake lights on the trailer though, hanging off the sides on the corners. I think that makes it look more street leagle.
