This Jet Putt Putt Speedboat is in pretty rough shape... but, from everything I can seem to find, it's pretty rare, but I've got a feeling the box is the most valuable part. It's made of tin and certainly was beat up by some kid for years! The boat is different from the other few I could find - they were all completely red with louvers on the top, and this one has a wind-up mechanism and no louvers. It is missing a rutter and other pieces.. Also, not sure of the age/era. Has anybody seen one like this?
