- Aluminium Offset Rudder and Propeller Strut — Rather than using composite or plastic alternatives, Pro Boat engineers specified aluminium for the rudder and propeller strut, offering superior performance, rigidity, and durability. Hard anodizing provides long-term corrosion resistance and wear protection, ensuring these components maintain their performance characteristics even after extended use in saltwater or chemically treated pools.
- Flex Shaft-Driven Propeller System — The flex shaft allows for propeller angle adjustment, enabling the Recoil 2 V2 to run optimally in most water conditions. Whether you're running in shallow water, dealing with chop, or pushing flat out in calm conditions, fine-tuning the propeller angle helps optimise performance and handling characteristics.
- Two Custom Liveries by Heat Wave Visual and Shreddy — The boat comes in your choice of two striking colour schemes. The Heat Wave Visual design features a classic Black and Gold finish, whilst the Shreddy livery showcases a bold Grey and Teal pattern inspired by professional RC boater Blake Wilkey. Both are officially licensed designs that look fantastic on the water and give your boat a unique personality.
- Unrivalled Turning Performance — The Recoil 2 V2's hull and hardware have been precisely tuned for turn-on-a-dime performance. Combined with a low centre of gravity, this design makes it one of the tightest turning boats available. The offset rudder design and low-profile hull geometry work together to keep the boat planted during aggressive turns, so you can push the limits without fear of the hull rolling or losing grip.
- Stainless Steel Hardware — All fasteners are manufactured from stainless steel, preventing rust and corrosion that could weaken the structure or impair performance. The metric screw sizes used throughout are easy to source as replacements if needed, making maintenance and repairs straightforward for the owner.
- Included Composite Boat Stand — The sturdy composite stand included in the box serves double duty as both a display stand for showcasing your boat and a working stand for maintenance and repairs. Protective foam protects the boat's finish during storage, and the stand can be repurposed as a parts tray during repairs and upgrades.
Technical Performance
The Pro Boat Recoil 2 V2 is engineered around a Spektrum Firma 4335-2300Kv brushless outrunner motor paired with a 100A Spektrum brushless ESC, delivering a combined power system capable of producing 35+ mph of acceleration and sustained high-speed performance. The 2300Kv motor specification means the motor will turn 2300 revolutions per minute for every volt of input, a characteristic that's been proven ideal for the hull design and intended use of this boat. Powered by the included 3S 3200mAh 30C LiPo battery, the system provides an excellent balance of acceleration, top speed, and runtime for both casual weekend cruising and competitive racing.
The hull itself measures 660mm (26 inches) in length with a 202mm beam and stands 146mm tall, making it a substantial and stable platform that handles both calm and rough water conditions effectively. The entire boat weighs just 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) without the battery, achieving an impressive power-to-weight ratio that contributes to the boat's responsive handling and rapid acceleration. The high-impact ABS plastic construction provides durability and impact resistance whilst keeping the overall weight manageable for transport and handling at the shoreline.
The propeller system utilises a flex shaft design that permits fine-tuning of blade angle for different water conditions and performance preferences. Combined with the durable aluminium propeller and offset propeller strut, this system delivers efficient thrust transfer with minimal parasitic drag. The offset rudder configuration provides excellent steering authority, enabling quick directional changes whilst maintaining the tight turning performance the Recoil 2 V2 is known for. All moving parts are designed around corrosion resistance, with stainless steel hardware and hard-anodised aluminium components ensuring long service life even when used regularly in saltwater or treated pool environments.
