Default Boat For Kids

Hello,

I'm looking for a recommendation on boats New/Used. We would most likely be running on a fairly smooth river and lakes. Thanks in advance

The same question goes for buying the right RC boat as well as the best RC car. What is your budget and what style of boat? How big do you want them to be?

look at proboat models and pick one that self rights. The first time you flip one over that isn't self righting and you have no recovery boat.....you will understand the frustration.

I've flipped my boat, didn't have a recovery boat, and I couldn't cast my tennis ball out that far. Luckily, 30 minutes later, a fisherman picked it up for me.

The fear of wanting to start R/C boat is real... Flipped over...

My 10yo son picked up the 18" version of the Recoil 2 by Proboat. It's been great, extremely fast with low maintenance and has definitely exceeded our expectations.
