Whether you crave action or relaxation, you'll enjoy radio-controlled boating. There's nothing quite as soothing as gliding your scale R/C sailboat across a pond, or for full-throttle excitement, you can race a nitro- or electric-powered deep vee or hydro! Many of Tower Hobbies' most popular model boats already come pre-built. To start making waves, just add water!
Great Starter Boats
Electric Start-Powered Boats

AquaCraft Mini Rio RTR
You don’t need a thunderboat and a big body of water to enjoy offshore racing action — just a pond and the extra-affordable Mini Rio! It’s just 16” of superboat styling and ABS strength that arrives ready to run and ready to make waves. A water-cooled 380 motor, ESC, 1100mAh NiMH battery and 12V peak charger provide the power and speed. A 2-channel FM radio provides pinpoint control. Add “AA” batteries, and you have it all.

AquaCraft Mini Thunder Hydroplane RTR
With its compact size, the Mini Thunder proves you don’t need a large body of water to deliver thrilling performance! It’s ready for action right now, so beginners can enjoy the excitement of racing a thunder boat. Includes virtually everything you need to race right out of the box: a water-cooled 380 motor, a waterproof ESC, a 2-channel pistol-grip radio with 1 mini servo and waterproof receiver, an 1100mAh NiMH battery and charger.

AquaCraft Rio RTR
Get tons of Superboat looks and style in a trim, 2-foot package! Like other Rios, it arrives with a finished ABS hull, factory-equipped with a 550 motor, 25A ESC and a Tactic™ 2.4GHz radio system. Size makes it perfect for ponds and pools, but its weight and power make it good for large ponds, too. With its surface-drive system, dual-wedge rudder and aluminum trim plates, you can enjoy fine-tuned performance under almost any conditions.
Tower Hobbies Power Vee EP RTR
The Power Vee is ready for rip-roarin’ racing action, with a 2-channel radio that features adjustable steering rate and fine trim controls. Its powerful 550-size motor is water jacket-equipped to help it run cool, while on-board electronics stay high and dry inside an easy-access compartment. You also get a 30A ESC, a rudder-steering servo, drag-reducing chine rails – even an assembled display stand! Requires 6-7 cell NiCd/NiMH battery, charger and 8 “AA” batteries.
Nitro Start-Powered Boats

AquaCraft SuperVee 27 Nitro RTR
If you’re a nitro boat enthusiast who admires the SuperVee 27 brushless RTR, now you can have that same streamlined design — with nitro power and performance! And because it’s easy to operate and comes completely assembled, even beginners can look forward to exciting off-shore racing action just minutes after taking the SuperVee 27 Nitro out of the box!
AquaCraft Nitro Hammer RTR
Strike hard, strike fast, with ready-to-run ease and tuned-pipe power! The Nitro Hammer is factory-built of first-class materials, including a fuelproof fiberglass hull (factory-finished in one of six custom colors) and stainless steel hardware. On-board gear for the included AquaCraft 2-channel pistol radio is installed, and the recoil-started AquaCraft Marine .15 ABC engine (also installed!) comes with a power-boosting tuned pipe! A flip-top fuel tank with primer button makes sure you won't waste fuel — a free start-up video makes sure you won't waste a minute of the Nitro Hammer's performance. Just 24" long, the Nitro Hammer requires only 20% glow fuel, a glow starter and 12 "AA" batteries.
AquaCraft Air Force Airboat RTR
Rule the waves with the Air Force. It arrives virtually assembled, so it can be action-ready in minutes. Its gel-coated, prejoined fiberglass hull and deck offer added durability and resistance to the damaging effects of fuel. And it's equipped with an AquaCraft Pro .46 engine and a Futaba-made AquaCraft 2-channel radio for premier performance and absolute control. Just 36”, the Air Force requires glow fuel, 12 “AA” batteries and support equipment.
AquaCraft U-18 Miss Vegas Deuce Hydroplane RTR
This hydro has just two goals: to get you race-ready fast — and deliver sensational speed and style! The finished fiberglass hull was personally refined by the AquaCraft USA design team. Power comes from a water-cooled SuperTigre .18 marine engine with a tuned Q-18 Quiet Pipe. It starts with the help of the included Super Start handheld electric starter — and responds brilliantly to control from a Tactic TTX240 2.4GHz radio system. GrimRacer performance hardware, tools and a boat stand add to the value.
