why did you discontinue the boat? On all of the rc websites I am a member on it seems to be a popular boat.

Hello, Im having a very similar problem as FlyAirJay. I pulled the decals out when I first got mine and put it as a Paramedic boat instead of Coast Guard. When I started running it, I'm getting loads of water in my boat! If I go really slow, a little bit of water gets in, but if I go fast, at least a cup of water gets in. What is the fix for this? I dont want the interior wood to rot... Is it the hatch? I tried putting weather strips on to prevent water from getting in as well... not helping.

@FlyAirJay Jay, would you be willing to talk to our folks in Customer Support? I'd really like to make sure you get what you expected and try to make things right if possible.

The port and starboard boarding wells weren't watertight either, which posed a big problem, as these wells sit right at the waterline and take some of bow wake. The wells are also the discharge point for the electric engine cooling system, so my boat took about an inch of water.Total cost was around $415 for the boat and two batteries, but I'd advise that you stay away from the ProBoat product.
