Key Features
- Self-Righting Hull Design — The innovative self-righting feature does not require power to work. If you flip the boat, the flood chamber fills with water over a few seconds, causing the boat to right itself automatically. When you hit the throttle and move forward, clean water exits the flood chamber, keeping your electronics protected and ready for the next run.
- Spektrum SLT3 2CH 2.4GHz DSMR Radio System — This modern radio system operates on the proven 2.4GHz frequency with dual protocol capability, allowing seamless upgrades to other Spektrum transmitters without requiring a separate receiver. The included SLT3 transmitter offers intuitive control with genuine Spektrum reliability.
- Spektrum SR315 Dual Protocol Receiver — The integrated dual protocol receiver is pre-installed and ready to use, supporting multiple Spektrum radio systems so you can upgrade your transmitter whenever you choose without replacing the receiver.
- Spektrum 120A Marine ESC — This smart-ready electronic speed control handles more amperage than needed to run the boat with authority and speed, providing headroom for aggressive driving whilst maintaining safe operating temperatures with dual water cooling.
- 4-Pole Spektrum FIRMA 1900KV Water-Cooled Brushless Motor — A ballistic 40x68mm brushless motor specifically designed for marine use, with water cooling to keep temperatures in check during extended runs. The 1900Kv rating delivers the perfect balance of torque and speed for deep-V hull dynamics, capable of propelling the boat to speeds in excess of 50+ MPH.
- Improved Dual Water Cooling — Two water pickup points in the rudder area increase water flow to both the ESC and motor, ensuring cool, clean water circulation keeps your electronics running at optimal temperatures even during high-speed runs.
- Adjustable Trim Tabs and Larger Turn Fins — Fine-tuning your boat's performance has never been easier. The adjustable trim tabs allow you to dial in the perfect running angle, whilst the larger turn fins provide enhanced manoeuvrability and control at speed.
- High-Torque Metal-Gear Waterproof Steering Servo — The durable steering servo features metal gears for long-term reliability and is fully waterproof, maintaining tight control and responsive handling even when the boat is operating at full throttle through challenging water conditions.
- Sealed Canopy with Foam Gasket — The lightweight canopy features locking threaded thumb screws for easy access to the hull and battery compartment. A foam gasket around the canopy opening prevents water from flooding the interior when the boat is upside down, protecting your electronics.
- Clean Interior Design — An integrated receiver box keeps your interior looking clean and dry, with optimised mounting posts for the ESC and motor. Battery access is straightforward, making maintenance and battery swaps quick and hassle-free.
- Aluminium Breakaway Offset Rudder — The rudder is designed to break away on impact, protecting the drive system from damage during collisions whilst maintaining steering control when intact.
- Large Propeller Strut — The substantial propeller strut provides excellent support and protection whilst optimising water flow to the propeller for maximum efficiency and speed.
Technical Performance
The Pro Boat Sonicwake 36-inch Self-Righting Deep-V is engineered with serious performance credentials.

Constructed from durable ABS plastic hull material, the deep-V design cuts through choppy water with authority whilst the self-righting feature adds a safety margin that encourages confident, aggressive driving. Total weight is 5.5 pounds (2.5kg), a substantial but manageable size that handles real-world water conditions. The Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz radio system with SR315 receiver provides rock-solid control link with modern dual protocol technology. Assembly time is less than one hour, making this a genuine ready-to-run RC boat that can be operational within your first afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Pro Boat Sonicwake V2 suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst the Sonicwake is capable of serious high-speed performance, it is specifically described as perfect for beginners through to avid boaters. The self-righting feature removes the anxiety of capsizing, allowing new pilots to focus on learning throttle control and steering. The stable deep-V hull design is forgiving enough for learning, yet performance-capable enough to grow with your skills.
- What happens if I flip the boat upside down? — The self-righting feature automatically rights the boat without requiring any power. The flood chamber integrated into the hull design fills with water over a few seconds, increasing buoyancy on the bow and causing the boat to flip back upright naturally. Once you hit the throttle to move forward, the water drains from the flood chamber. This is a genuine safety feature that encourages confident driving.
- What batteries does the Sonicwake V2 need? — The Sonicwake V2 is configured to run on two 3S 5000mAh 100C+ LiPo batteries with IC5 or EC5 connectors. You can purchase these separately as they are not included with the RTR package. This configuration is recommended by Pro Boat for optimal performance and runtime.
- How fast does this RC boat go? — The Pro Boat Sonicwake V2 is capable of speeds in excess of 50+ MPH thanks to the 1900Kv brushless motor and 120A ESC. Actual top speed will vary depending on water conditions, battery charge level, and trimming adjustments.
- Can I upgrade the radio system? — Yes. The SLT3 system included features a dual protocol receiver, meaning you can upgrade to any other Spektrum transmitter without needing to purchase a new receiver. This flexibility allows you to expand your RC collection without worrying about incompatible radio systems.
- How long does assembly take? — Assembly time is less than one hour. The motor, ESC, and receiver come pre-installed, so you mainly need to charge the batteries, install them, and get on the water.
- Is this a true ready-to-run boat? — Yes, this is a genuine RTR (ready to run) package. Everything necessary for operation is included except batteries, a charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter. Once you supply these items, you can be on the water the same day.
- What makes the water cooling system important? — Water cooling is essential for high-performance marine RC boats. The dual water pickup system circulates cool water through both the ESC and motor during operation, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining performance during extended runs. This is more effective than air cooling alone, especially in warm conditions.
- Can I use other brand batteries with this boat? — The boat is designed for 3S LiPo batteries with IC5 or EC5 connectors. You should use 100C+ batteries to match the 120A ESC capability. Other brands with compatible connectors can be used, but Pro Boat recommends Spektrum Smart batteries for the most seamless charging experience with smart chargers.
