Description

You might say the Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48” pushes the envelope, but that's putting it mildly. This big boat rips the envelope to shreds — so you can streak lightning-fast over large lakes and ponds, absolutely dominating anything else on the water without a care in the world! Pro Boat achieves several exciting “firsts” with this large-scale, ready-to-run deep-V. It's the first boat of its size in the history of RC to have self-righting capabilities. It's also the first Pro Boat model to enhance its awesome looks with underwater LEDs. The Super Sonicwake 48” is the latest member of a deep-V family that began with the powerful Sonicwake 36”. That boat's incredible performance made it the most popular model in the Pro Boat lineup. So if bigger means better, then get ready. The Super Sonicwake 48” is about to blow all others out of the water with the best features, the best performance, AND the largest size. The Super Sonicwake 48” has a factory-installed Spektrum 8S brushless power system capable of producing 50+ mph speeds. Independent water-cooling systems for the motor and ESC keep your hard-working electronics at safe operating temperatures. Depending on which recommended LiPo battery option you use, you can maximize speed or extend run time. The innovative Pro Boat SSL (Strap, Slide, Lock) battery installation system lets you exchange packs in just a matter of seconds. Despite its impressive size, those and other features make the Super Sonicwake 48” convenient to operate and easy to maintain. The thick ABS hull hangs tough through big jumps and rough waters. If the breakaway rudder strikes a rock or other hard object, it rotates up to minimize any hull or hardware damage. The canopy attaches with quick 1/4 turn latches, making it fast and easy to remove with no risk of stripping screws. The Super Sonicwake 48” adds fresh graphics to the popular styling of the smaller Sonicwake. As it cuts through the water, underwater LEDs at the transom illuminate its wake with splashes of light. Day or night, this is the ultimate RC boating experience! Because of its speed and size, the Super Sonicwake 48” is best suited for very large ponds and lakes. Still, driving safely and comfortably from the water's edge is no problem. If the boat flips, it will self-right. A battery power level indicator on the Spektrum DX3 transmitter lets you know when you should return to shore. And if you happen to own a full-size boat, take it out and relax onboard by running your Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48” from there. Enjoy the best of both boating worlds at the same time! Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48" 8S RC Boat Features SSL BATTERY INSTALLATION In The Box The Super Sonicwake 48” RTR doesn’t just push the envelope — it tears through, with the largest size and best performance of any Pro Boat model to date. It’s also the biggest self-righting boat ever in RC. Run at 50+ mph top speeds with no worries! Pro Boat pushes the envelope again! The Super Sonicwake 48” 8S BL RTR deep-V is the largest RC boat ever to include self-righting capabilities. Punch the throttle and power across large lakes and ponds with no worries. If the boat flips over away from shore, it quickly recovers on its own and continues full speed ahead. Measuring a dominating four feet long, the Super Sonicwake 48” can easily handle the chop of big lakes and ponds. Due to its impressive size and speeds, this deep-V is best suited for larger bodies of water — where 1:1 boaters can have a blast driving it from the comfort of their full-size craft! The included Spektrum DX3 transmitter and SR315 receiver provide the range and reliability you need for running on large bodies of water. Thanks to the transmitter's Smart on-board battery power level indicator, you'll always know when it's time to bring in your Super Sonicwake 48” to avoid being stranded. Send your Super Sonicwake 48” screaming across the water at 50+ mph speeds, while anything behind is left boiling in your wake! Its high-powered Spektrum brushless system includes a Firma 160A Smart Brushless ESC and 4685 950Kv 4-Pole Brushless Marine Motor. Just add your choice of the recommended LiPo batteries to maximize speed or run time. To keep the hard-working electronics located inside your Super Sonicwake 48” from overheating in the summer sun, Pro Boat uses a dual water pickup rudder to send cool water flowing around the motor and ESC through independent water-cooling systems. High-quality, adjustable aluminum hardware lets you fine-tune the ride of your Super Sonicwake 48” to achieve the optimum performance in any water conditions. One of the quickest ways to end an afternoon of RC boating fun is to accidentally strike something hidden in the water with your vessel's rudder. The Super Sonicwake 48” eliminates this worry with its breakaway rudder design. The rudder simply rotates up if it hits a solid object, minimizing the chance of hull or hardware damage. As the Super Sonicwake 48” streaks across the lake at dusk, super-bright underwater LEDs located at the transom ignite your wake with splashes of light. The included lighting system is another first for Pro Boat! The exposed metal pins of an RC boat's receiver make it especially vulnerable to damage if water enters the hull. The Super Sonicwake 48” has an improved waterproof receiver box that keeps your most important piece of electronic equipment safe and secure. The receiver stays dry through multiple seasons for a trouble-free radio connection. The Super Sonicwake 48” comes outfitted with upgrades right at the start! These quick 1/4 turn canopy latches let you take the canopy on and off as quickly as possible without worrying about stripping screws. Seals on both the inside and outside surfaces minimize the chance for water to leak into the boat. Nothing is worse than having too little grease on the flexshaft — but too often, any excess grease winds up making a mess inside of your boat's hull. The Super Sonicwake 48” has a grease catch that confines the excess within a small area for removal. You can easily keep the inside of your boat looking clean and fresh. This completely free-floating bushing lets you grease just the prop strut with a quick and easy port. Simply remove the screw. Grease flows through the prop strut and stuffing tube, while holes in the bushing keep the grease right where it needs to be.

  • Big and beautiful beast
Great boat just not as fast as advertised out-of-box. I have noticed the glue used for internal structure melts the outer shell so the bottom is definitely not smooth and flat. The hardware on the back is ok for being a production boat, the turn fins and mounts definitely need to be more heavier gauged. RC boat bitz has got a great solution and probably the best hardware for the SSW48 and other proboat models. The self-righting works wonderful. Overall it’s a great boat and it looks awesome. I’ve been modifying mine and so far I got it just under 75mph I’m aiming for 80-85. ... show more

  • Terrible Customer Support
Purchased May 2026. Boat quit running after 10 minutes and still will not run under load. Motor and Esc were burning hot to the point smoke came out when canopy was removed. I own several RC boats and have determined that the motor was the issue. As it did not sound right at low RPM. Submitted a warranty claim to Horizon Hobby and did not get a response for 6 days only for them to tell me the esc is not in stock until November and they are trying to figure out how to get me parts. I offered to pay the difference for the upgrades 200 amp ESC and the tech stated they have to replace with exact item which is false according to their policy as it states it is the technicians discretion. I emailed this section of the policy to the tech 6 days ago and have still not received a reply or resolution. Unfortunately I will most likely have to shell out another $350-400 to replace the electronics. Will not use spektrum. Always junk with their stuff. ... show more

  • Great boat. It's large and in charge.
I have had this boat for two weeks now and have taken it out every day with the exception of one day. It has been a blast to drive and run and I've had zero problems with it. It gets a few droplets of water inside, which may be coming off the canopy when I remove it, but all in all it remains dry. It's a real joy to operate and has provided me hours of fun. You just need to do routine maintenance on it after each run and dry it off. There's tons of you tube videos on the internet covering this boat. Do yourself a favor get one and enjoy it. ... show more

  • Really fun boat, good customer service, bad QC
As a kid I thoroughly enjoyed this hobby until my boat caught fire after a run one day. I want to get back into it now and have learned some valuable lessons I’d like to share. If you’re set on buying this boat make sure you test it first in a controlled environment before running it on a pond or lake. I’ve bought two of these boats. One from here and one from Horizon Hobby (the owners of pro boat) & both had the same exact leak in the back just sitting in water before I even got the chance to run it. My disappointment was immeasurable. Not only is the quality control for a boat this expensive a joke but the return process is the worst experience I’ve ever had as a customer. Because of this, DO NOT buy batteries for your rc boat unless it’s from a place you can return them. Now I’m stuck with a bunch of batteries I cannot return. Update: horizon made the situation right and offered a refund of return. I was gonna go with a refund but decided to give it another shot since I have a bunch of nonreturnable batteries. This thing has put the biggest smile on my face, it’s even more fun than my blackjack 24. If you have the patience to deal with the type of situation I was in it’s worth the time. ... show more

  • Awesomeness!!!
My 8th Pro Boat and this thing does not disappoint! It’s fast and it handles great. It loves whatever water I can throw at it and doesn’t necessarily need the smoothest to have fun. Get it! You won’t regret it!
