Did adjust the trim tabs , to stop the kangaroo effect , funny I just saw it on RC sailors the other day too

[@waynesbutler7834]

Wow Proboat are killing it lately with the rereleases of these older boats, and making it longer gives me hope the UL19 will be redone but bigger too if and when they do the right thing.

[@FEboats]

Can’t wait for a plastic UL-19…

[@waynesbutler7834]

@@FEboats I am kind of hoping that it will be fiberglass like the OG but yes it could very well be polycarbonate, which is a polite word for plastic but lets hope not.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

@@waynesbutler7834 honestly I’d almost rather an ABS hydro because of how brittle fiberglass is. I’m always so nervous driving my UL because I’m worried I might crack it, like I did my Geico, Veles, and Impulse.

[@FEboats]

@@waynesbutler7834 all proboats will be plastic now cause it cost $1 to make a hull once the tooling is paid for. Plus they don’t need to warranty chips and cracks in the fiberglass. Proboat has no competition so no reason to make anything other than something that looks good for newbs.

[@waynesbutler7834]

@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe You do raise some valid points, i tend to sway to carbon or fiberglass but they have issues too as you pointed out . Maybe i am crazy, and some say i am, but i bought the Zonda because the UL was out of stock and yes its a crazy fast boat but i love Hydros and would trade for a UL19 any day of the week as long as its still fiberglass ignoring the obvious issues you mention.

I've been holding out for something like this. Just got a Recoil 18" but looking for something bigger but self-righting (especially after I tried out my rescue inflatable boat yesterday---want to reserve that for emergencies). Yes there is the Recoil 26", but too close to the 18" for the money. Blackjack 42 looked appealing except for the heat and the need for me to use the rescue rubber boat, so this could be it.

[@nealstarling5422]

That’s a badass boat Big B, made for running in choppy waters. Should make for some great air catching videos 👍 and of course at some point we might just see how fast it can go, nah that will never happen 😉

[@IRONCLADRC]

Such a big boat I had to special order props for it, lol. We're gonna do some speed testing hare very shortly

[@portcitygrady]

Big B i didnt even know this was coming out man. Woooooow I'm going to order one asap. I was always wishing the sonic wake was a little bigger. I'm truly blown away. Wow man. Can't wait To see everything you do to it and the props you run.

[@portcitygrady]

Hey Big B. just curious but, Do you think the XlX2 hydra / pro marine esc Would provide better output power / Response for that 950kv motor? I can't wait for you to do your testing But, something has me thinking they should have put a 200a+ esc in the super sonic wake Instead of borrowing the Black Jack 42 160a esc due to the super sonic wakes aqua coefficient drag from its mass which is less on the black jack catamarine. Please let me know your comments. Im preordering one right away But I just feel like it needs some more push from the esc... That's a massive boat. Let me know what your thoughts when you can. 😊

[@IRONCLADRC]

So far the esc has been up to par, I've been running some huge props on it with no issues what so ever, does it need an upgraded esc, no will we put one in IT YES

That's cool they made a big boat to have fun with. I think all boats if possible should have self righting . One less thing you have to worry about when retreaving . Are you going to modify this boat for high speed. Also think the lights are a cool factor.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

We’ll never see a self righting hydro or cat

[@stevesocransky6341]

Goto OSE and order a generic flex shaft

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Offshore Electrics. If you can’t find the particular one, just get a length of generic cable and cut it to size

Seems about 2 videos so far n it's a beautiful boat indeed but thing it could use more power for that size of a boat. Can't wait to see what upgrades u put in terms of esc n motor

[@swifteux1]

Magnifique bateau rtr en espérant que le problème de chauffe sur le bout du flex côté moteur soit résolu catastrophique sur le v2😢

[@yhi2u]

A interesting entry from Proboat, with some unique and cool features. However, fundamentally I feel poly hulls should remain in the sub 30" hull length category. The amount of rippling on this large poly carbonate hull just screams it needs blueprinted. Not to mention I'd rather see a rudder mounted straight into the transom. A hull this size will be putting large loading on the rudder and that Z bracket will be leveraging that mount like none other.

[@scottdearmond5532]

Decent looking ProBoat that’s already got the dual line cooling, the stainless prop is promising, I wonder 💭 if it has a lot of lift ? My concern is that a 950kv motor is way too low of rpm and would be a upgrade for the Harbor Tug 😂😂, ProBoat should of stuck with the 1350kv motor from the BJ42, awaiting further reviews 🧐☺️

[@IRONCLADRC]

I actually like the fact that they went with the low kv motor, longer running time and we can definitely prop this boat up to the moon and back!

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Let’s goooooooo! This is awesome!

[@peteroosterhoff8850]

Very nice you had the premiere B (as far as i know). It is a nice addition for people who dont know how, or want to build a boat BUT: i think these people also like to go fast. I think they were lazy at horizon. Very low kv motor so they didn't need to design any new electronics. Im curious to see what prop would get it to some decent speeds...

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes sir buddy you know it!

[@d.schmitz7872]

It's a great boat. I mean, look at this size and this speed is really impressive, especially considering the weight and compared to smaller RC boats in this class I got my hands on this Supersonic Wake 48 two weeks ago. But here in Europe the factory speed is only about 40/41 mph. I see it on other KZbin channels in Germany and France. So far I've only measured mine at 40 mph, everything as factory with two Spektrum 4s 5000mah 100c Do you have any idea what the problem is?

[@xXCWALDROUPXx]

If I hadn't recently picked up a 46" hull and built it up (thanks to your vids btw! Appreciate all the info you give and glad to see companies showing you love 👍) i'd be getting one of these lol... also safe to say I might have went overkill, 300a 6s-12s ESC and TP 5860 1440kv... 74mm 3 blade... pray for the first run it's about to be a handful lmao 🥲

[@FEboats]

I gotta pay and wait for mine but I’ll have it soon. I like the speedmaster style rudder blade. Too bad they made it hard to tape on the back of the cowl area since I run in saltwater.

[@55steviegreene]

What a Monster. Holly smokes

[@gillian9178]

Nice looking rig for sure, only thing I would rather see is a flat deck at the rear. So that you can tape the hatch all around, I see why Proboat did that reccess at the rear to let water out of the gully around the hatch, personally I would like the option to tape 100% around the hatch rather than obstacal's around the hatch edges like a lot of manufacturers seem to like to do. Small personal gripe though.

[@marxboatworx]

im still a newbie to boats. lovin them. im trying to watch all your vids. Back in the day, when i was a young lad. Using full sized boats, The group that we hung together, one of the things we did. Was polish up the bottom of the boat to slide faster. using fiberglass polishing compound, etc.etc.. i don't know if it did any good or not. im curious... wondering if you tried something like this or not. just a passing thought;. little on the ADHD side of me. keep up the great videos. there awesome and im learning a lot. Have Fun.

I like a slightly rough bottom opposed to a slick waxed botton, when I say rough I mean 1000g wetsanded bottom

How are you how are you going to get that old 40 inch fiberglass one done if you keep messing around with all these other ones

[@mzrzfxr]

Great video. Can’t wait to get one! Question, how easy it is to to remove the flex shaft for greasing? The Blackjack was a pain and oh man that Jetstream (different boat of course) real PITA. Speaking of trim and sitting down, at least the blackjack cat, I found with trim and a little extra weight it helped it sit down albeit I lost a few mph top speed…

[@IRONCLADRC]

Pretty simple actually, it does have an ez grease port on the strut, remove the screw and grease with a grease gun.

[@ninthislandrc]

Looks great, great performance, handling (as you already know) can use a lil work. Overall, excellent. My only 'question' will be how the polycarbonate hull holds up over time (compared to the ABS hull of the SW36).

[@Rendawg_77]

Hey Ironclad!... What do you think of those 1/4" hatch locks on the new 48"?!... I was thinking maybe trying to add them to my V2 36" Thoughts?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Unfortunately, the locking pin is too long to mount on the v2 36. 48 had notches cut out the flood chamber to accommodate the longer hatch locks
