Overview

Back to Top ^

The Pro Boat® Formula 1/8-Scale Gas Unlimited Hydroplane is nothing short of the ultimate big-scale, ready-to-run RC boating experience. It’s an authentic replica of the 2006 ABRA high-points champion hydro.

The sleek, fiberglass hull comes in just under 4 feet long and is completely assembled and factory-painted in authentic Formula Boats colors with everything installed. Its potent, water-cooled Zenoah™ G26M marine engine is equipped with a high-performance tuned exhaust system that can have you screaming across the water at speeds in excess of 35 mph, while the unique water pump/clutch design allows the engine to stay cool, whether idling or at full throttle. JR’s XR3i programmable FM radio system is included for smooth, precise control.

Just add the batteries and gas (sold separately), and you’re ready to go. For big-time boating fun that’s a cinch to get into, nothing else comes close.
