Pro Boat Sprintjet 9" Self-Righting Deep-V Jet Boat Brushed RTR Ready to Run Silver PRB08045T1

Overall this boat has been a good purchase. There are a few little things that could be better, but so far it hasn’t disappointed. It is peppy but not a speed demon. In our little 10’ backyard pool it seems like a screamer but a large pool or wide open water will make it seem much slower. The servo is still performing fine, I saw some other reviewers had issues. I did adjust the steering endpoints out of the box to make sure it wasn’t over traveling and stalling. I also blow the boat out with compressed air after each run to minimize moisture. I actually ended up turning the steering down even more to help with stability since it has no problem making sharp turns at any speed. The motor will get hot to the touch but seems to be doing ok. I’ve yet to get the boat to self-right, it seems to be a lack of inertia or power/punch or maybe my technique. Either way I wouldn’t run it where I didn’t want to get wet or couldn’t easily retrieve. I’ve found some 650mah 2s flysky packs that fit just right and run a little better/longer than the included pack. I would say it’s a good buy despite the few little quirks.

Controls flipped forward and reverse as did the steering. Did multiple hard resets as well as attempting to reverse the signals within thr radio and nothing Absolute waste. I sent it back. It's also incredibly slow for $90.

Super fun boat for our pool ! 5yr old kid loves it and so does his dad !! Bought a 2nd battery to keep the fun going.

So fun in the pool but is not self righting.

Fun little boat, wouldn’t use it for anything other than the pool. Looks cool and you don’t have the prop to worry about hitting anything since it has a jet pump. Could be a little faster and the self righting feature isn’t that great (I only got it to work once). Other than that it’s a fun little boat, would be a better price point at around $75. Giving 3 stars because of the price, speed and self righting feature not really working.

This little boat is amazing! Love that there are no spinning or sharp external parts as my dog loves to swim after it. Speed is perfect for the pool and the ability to turn at low and high speed is way better than any prop/rudder combo out there. As others have stated, adjust the steering end points so the servo doesn't exceed system limits and I think you have a long lasting product. Highly recommend!!!!

Stickers not installed. No big deal, but kind of annoying at this price point. Setting up the speed control was a pain. Motor is not water cooled and was too hot to touch after about 10 minutes of run time. YOU COULD SMELL HOT PLASTIC. All in all, not indicative of the normal quality that Horizon Hobby offers. Sending it back.

Amazing product and quick for its size! Played on the river but be careful battery has no warning signs when it’s low and bogs down immediately.

Awesome lil boat for the kids to play around with...I def have fun with it too. I put a brushless system in mine n now it's got the punch it needs. People around are asking where I got them so mays well sell them and make more.

Awesome little boat but needs bigger batteries

Excellent Product ... great value ... fun boat to learn on ... lots of fun

Had a absolutely horrible experience with the first one I ordered, it arrived damaged, used and missing parts. They sent me another one which took twice as long to get in and it’s very average. Battery doesn’t last long and the steering is extremely slow. Average boat at best. I probably wouldn’t order another one.
