Wonderful video. Wish there had been one like this 45 years ago when I first got into the hobby. Great job sir.

New subscriber and skipper! Always been a fly guy but decided to give boats a try. Bought a $40 12" Ranfly on Amazon a couple weeks ago to get a taste for it cheap, figured if I wasn't feeling it I'd just give it to a friend who has a 9 year old son. Couldn't believe how much fun I had and how much I instantly enjoyed it! Been researching boats ever since and found your channel. Pulling the trigger next week on the Shreddy variant of the Recoil 2. That's the boat that called to me most within my budget, it's RTR, a good size, good speed, good components, looks shweet as all getout and it's self righting so it ticked all the boxes for a greenhorn like me. Plus I already have the 3S Spektrum Smart batteries it takes as well as the Spektrum S155 Smart Charger, picked both up when I scored an Arrma Vorteks. Absolutely cannot wait to get this ProBoat. Your channel is awesome and a wealth of great info and good times, thank you! You bring the suds and I'll bring the buds brother, cyumon!

You have sold me on building my first rc boat . I’ve been flying fixed wings , helicopters , and drones for roughly $5,000 and love flying , it’s that landing part that continues to cost more and more as time goes bye . I’m now get much more flying time for my money spent by landing successfully. Boats have a special place in my life considering I live right next to Buckeye lake. I will follow you and do more research and will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge

I'm a product developer for Horizon Hobby but in the Air category. I really enjoy your content and have been playing with boats for a few weeks now.

Last hull I built was an ml boat works. I got out of boats a few years back, but I always prefer deep v hulls because it’s usually choppy here in New England

Just getting back into the rc boats my first was the miss Geico wish I never got rid of it I 3d printed a cat haul currently waiting on electronics great video with alot of useful information

What a great video! I am thinking about making a boat from scratch for fun, and I want to carry it on my back on a bike ride to the sea near where I live (the sea area is relatively calm behind tetrapods). It looks like a mono-hull would be best to cope with waves. Also, I want to have a boat that gives me the most fun to operate. Before I constructed a trimaran sail boat but it was a bit of a disappointment.

Still a car guy, but this video is helping me find the boat I want. ❤

I got the UL-19 as my first boat I hope this was a good choice. I have built and had many airplanes and helicopters however this will be completely new to me. Thanks for the videos and helping out us newbies!

Wow! One hell of a challenge to overview our hobby in less than 20 minutes, but you nailed it Big B 👌 👍 👏

hi big b love your vids i got my first boat last year a toy grade nqd tear into jet boat needless to say after watching a few KZfaq vids I tore into it fitted a brushless motor and 50amp esc and pared it up to flysky gt3c radio good fun in a pond but it really comes into its own going up small shallow streams no prop to damage on rocks jet boats are real bashers I'd love a thrasher like Dr jet mentioned but just can't afford one. so go on give a jet boat a try

Wow... Im super amized for your different kind of rc boats.... For me the best is catamaran hull design... I have build that boat. But for now.. i have esc and motor for it .. i have no money yet to buy it... Im hoping one of this day i have it all....

Thanks for the video Big B. Convince Pro Boat to bring back the UL-19. Thanks.

Fantastic video. I'll recommend it to anyone whose thinking about RC boating. Cheers

Your videos are so good!!!!!

I feel the golden time has passed for fast electric rtr boats I remember 7/8 years ago you had the likes of the genesis/pursuit/ joysway super surge crusher..all discontinued never replaced proboat aside the rtr nowadays are rubbish,better off learning to build your own because even the proboat rtr have issues out the box usually poor cooling

Just got a pro boat Veles 29 and this is my first real boat put a water pump in it to keep the motor cool because I’m running it on 6s. Wanted to ask about strut adjustment and props sizes. Thanks so much love you videos.

*Wow! That's a really cool video! Cool! You're a boat video expert! Thumb! 😃🔥🔥🔥👍*

Good informative video!!! I am running the Stealth wake and have turned it into a Brushless power house Need to work on adding weight to keep it in the water

Yeah bro been in the hobby since 2017 on land so I'm going with that Sonic wake V2 for my first boat

Very nice vid I'm actually going to be building the zelos 48 gas version just waiting for the hull from horizon hobby this vid is really helpful I really like the look of your out rigger

Thanks for the info Big B. I just used windex to clean boat I was wondering if that was safe for the finish

GG bother appreciate all the simple information definitely help

Is there a radiator style water block for outrunner motors? Be a nice cooling system for inside the hotbox

Hey mister Ironclad, if it all possible, can you please put a retail purchase price on each of your boats as you speak about them. Thank you so much.

Great video.

Great informative video Big B. But I have to warn everyone thinking about getting into the hobby. Its VERY addictive and fun. Have your wallet prepared. You'll quickly grow your boat collection and aftermarket parts.

can you make a video on how to make the micro outriger

like your show . where is a good place to get trim tabs for the 42 in black jack ?

Darn wished I had ne a recovery boat this weekend twice I had to wade in to recover on time had to strip to my scivies and went in chest high to recover it in the cat tails.

Thanks!

I’m wanting to build my first boat, and I’m definitely the overachiever, like to experiment and usually get in over my head type of guy…my question is, is it possible to build a Hydro scale boat using an EDF or two for thrust? I’m pretty experienced with planes and trucks/cars, but never had a boat before. Advice is welcome

Very educational thank you

its a fascinating Hobby

What do ya think a spartan maybe idk man i want something im also going to the beach i a week or so i need to build a bait hauler boat to carry my fishing bait out from the beach with cheap supples seems like a fun project going to need some power they make rc boat for this they have a huge prop under them probably for ocean check them out. Big money not many option could make some money there maybe idk

Another good video . ? Blackjack 24 or veles 29 for a second long term fun boat . I value Your opinion . thanks big B

Still totally torn between a Blackjack 24 and the new Recoil V2 as a first boat... due to it being a V hull and having self righting I'm thinking the Recoil V2 may be better in some ways.... but the Blackjack would likely use batteries I already have... and is a chunk cheaper... Also briefly looked into the Arrow... So hard to make a choice...choice paralysis is why I didn't get a boat last summer...

i love your channel., i imitated you tiny titan,. he sails great. 55 on the gps, 38mm prop, 2300kv motor,. can i send you a picture!

Hey big b any suggestions on revolt 30 chine walking at 3/4 power around 40 , 45 mph bad chine walk !!!?????

Looking for a bad ass motor for a catamaran

what did you use on the deep V hull boat to protect it from hitting stuff

What's a good competitive fast begins boat

Idk if you see this. I have 5th scale cars. Raced 10th scale. Was looking at the Sr 80 pro and the Sr 85 vectors. Any tips? I fly planes. But no water experience.

Hey my revolt setup is 2250kv , 4-6slipo , m645 prop slight down on strut angle 1-2degree balance at 8 inches from transom on flat water , 10 on ruff water ????? Violet chine walk around 40 , 45 mph ???? Any thoughts 💭

I just got a ul 19. What brand and how big of battery would you recommend? And what charger would you recommend?

Sendt you an email the other day ;) But where do you find drawings for building a boat hull from scratch ? Might want something to build during next winter (ohhh i got many months of building then) ;)

Hey Big B, just bought myself a Spartan, super keen for it to arrive. Where would you rank it in terms of skill level?

would the recoil handle a 540 size motor?im old school so brushless motor size is confusing

Your going to need a bigger shop soon BIG B

Why only 1 turn fin? Is it for turning only 1 direction

Hello broo..how to fix esc so hot ..can you tell me bro?

Hey say if I wanted to is it okay to run in saltwater if you flush it out soon as you get done and grease it up and shit

I think that boats are to expencive ...
