Pro Boat RC Speed Boats & Parts

Beginners are usually best starting with a smaller, more forgiving Pro Boat hull rather than jumping straight to a top-speed racer. The Jetstream and Blackjack-style entry hulls are stable, easy to launch and recover, and manageable if they flip. Once you are comfortable reading wind and chop, controlling throttle on glassy water and recovering from rollovers, you can move up to larger or faster models. Always run with a safety recovery plan and avoid busy swimming areas.

Pro Boat is Horizon Hobby's dedicated marine brand, which means the hulls are backed by proper engineering, self-righting designs on many models, and genuine spares support rather than unknown generic parts. Waterproof electronics, tuned props and refined hull shapes give predictable handling from calm freshwater right through to light chop. For Australian hobbyists wanting a reliable boat that actually performs on the local lake or dam, Pro Boat sits in a sweet spot of performance, price and serviceability.

Yes. Alongside our Pro Boat hulls we carry props, drive dogs, O-rings, motor mounts and other wear items from our Australian warehouse, currently around 128 Pro Boat items in total. Marine RC chews through props and seals faster than land-based RC, so having local spares is essential. We also stock compatible LiPo batteries and chargers from brands like NXE so you can run longer sessions without waiting weeks for replacement parts from overseas suppliers.

The Sonicwake 24" is a standout for buyers wanting high-speed deep-V performance on larger bodies of water, while the Blackjack 42" catamaran appeals to those chasing serious top speed and stability on flat lakes. The smaller Jetstream is popular with newer boaters and anyone wanting a compact, transportable hull for local ponds. Each suits different conditions, so think about where you will actually run the boat before choosing hull length and power class.
