“The cutter's superstructure comprised of an open bridge at the top with an empty room below it that could not be accessed without tearing apart the deckhouse. At the aft is a mechanism with a retractable hook for launching and retrieving the dinghy. The rubber wheels on the... More sides are used to operate the winch that pulls back the hook.”

“The Coastal Cutter set delivers a sleek guard boat with a striking blue, white, and red color scheme, enhanced by six detailed stickers. Featuring a small motorboat with a sliding boom and extendable rope, the set offers strong playability and versatile features. While the lower cabin could benefit from additional detailing, the overall design remains functional and appealing, making it a standout from the early 90s coastal guard theme.”
