The boat actually comes up on plane, very realistic,good job.
REALLY cool military boat!! First thought "why is the FLAG at half staff", maybe I missed a note worthy day!! Thanks Saylors, especially ABBY... she asked EVERY question I I would have!! 💟👍😘
Haha, thank you!! ❤️🙏👍💯⚓️
My dad was a gunners mate aboard one of those. He told us their rendition of the letters of “S.W.I.F.T.” Awesome piece
Must’ve been a small guy! 😅
The PCF, or Patrol Craft Fast, also known as "Swift Boat" was designed as a coastal patrol craft and operated during the Viet Nam war by the US and South Vietnam. The PCF was the larger, coastal cousin of the PBR, or Patrol Boat, Riverine, which was made famous by the movie "Apocalypse Now."
The both the PBR and the PCF were designed to be operated on along the coasts and up into the river deltas, the PBR had water-jet propulsion, while the PCF used the more traditional screw and rudder system, and had a draft of 5 feet, while the PBR was only 2 feet. Both the PBR and the PCF by Pro Boat are very detailed scale models of their respective patrol craft and feature lights and optional upgrades. I personally own the Pro Boat "Alpha Patrol Boat" PBR model and I am quite happy with it. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. :-( But the Pro Boat Patrol Craft Fast is a very worth successor to the PBR.
Love how it looks on full speed
I know two others including myself that ordered this boat and we all had damage right out of the box. However, the boat runs amazing!
Now.this boat is really cool
PRO BOAT PRO TIP!
Put some foam on the inside of the removable cabin... if it comes off (I saw it happen) it will sink to the bottom and cost half the price of the entire boat to replace (almost 150 bucks)
That is an extremely good tip!! Thank you!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Funny you mentioned the word , "foam. " My two year -old Dumas Cobra," found the bottom, last night. Via, a leaky stuffing box. "Scotty," the skippers commander , went down with the boat. I had the same issue with my first boat , when I was 13. A wave caught it, and yanked it down. NO foam. I could have spent fifteen minutes, packing the hull, with Styrofoam, and worse case scenario, would have been a flooded, yet floating boat. The good news though, I did manage to rescue the canopy , with my Cajun Commander. (A souvenir?)
Our lake has now claimed three boats.
Running an R/C boat is actually a perfect primer for beginners. Easier to cope with a plane once you have the left/right muscle memory down.
Holy wow fast for its size
The lazarette hatch is gold!
Used by offshore/brown water Navy in Vietnam , developed from personnel launch .Built by Sewart Seacraft (Louisiana ) for transport of oil workers in the Gulf .
Well said, sir.
Good looking boat for being all plastic. It’s loud though needs some grease and/or balancing in the driveline. I’d be concerned too about overheating with no water cooling. I miss Aquacraft. They did scale rtr boats in all fiberglass. Thank You for sharing!
The motor mount screws need to be loosened just a tiny bit, and ALL of that noise goes away. Put it up on the stand, pull the hatch off, hit the throttle, and start loosening the aluminum motor mount screws just a tiny bit. That's all you have to do. They OVERTIGHTENED them at the factory.
Yes, agree, the BRISTOL BAY trawler is an excellent product
Thank you for this. I just got this for a birthday gift. My awesome wife wasnt sure if I wanted this or the tug boat. After seeing your video, Im glad she chose this one. I cant wait to test it out myself ! 👍
Going to have to add this one to the fleet. I did not expect that kind of speed from that platform! I can dig it for sure!
That boat looks awesome! The fact with the added power too if you want to drive it faster made this really neat!
I really LOVE your channel and reviews. I'm and RcSaylors junkie of sorts, lol. I wanted to just give you guys a "Head's Up" along with whoever may be watching this in the future, and think that everything is great, and they want to buy this boat, but they DON'T like that "Buzzing" noise it makes when you throttle it all the way up. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EASY FIX! I have this boat and it's a lot of fun! The cabin is held to the deck quite securely with the magnets. Nonetheless, I used some of the scrap packing foam and glued some inside the cabin just in case. Yep, you'll want to use a 3S battery with this boat. That loud rattling and buzzing sound you hear in this video from the motors can be eliminated by just loosening the aluminum motor mount screws a bit. Just set it on it's stand, throttle it up, and slowly loosen the screws and you'll hear the rattling and buzzing go away. This also eliminates quite a bit of vibration too from the universal joint and prop shaft. I've checked to make sure the motors didn't move, every 2-3 runs at first, and they've stayed in the position I left them in perfectly, and NO MORE BUZZING OR RATTLING! Thank you RcSaylors!
Damn that thing is awesome sounding like a two-stroke leaf blower
Nice running boat. If it wasn't for the mounted guns, it looks similar to a fire boat or tug boat. Abby reads & gets it right. Nate I don't need to read & of course😮. So Abby does Nate read the map on road trips or AFTER your lost does he claim it wasn't his fault 🤔 😂😂. ⚓️⚓️👍💚💛🧡👍⚓️⚓️.
Adapted aluminum offshore oil drilling support boat used used extensively in Vietnam. I was given a sixty mile ferry ride on one 53 years ago. Jim
Cleats are the boat tie down jigs on docks
Abby was definitely the star of this one.. well done you two.
Sweet looking boat!
It’s one of the coolest looking boats we’ve ever owned! 👍😎⚓️
Nice demo! When might we see a repair/re-flight of the $700 Huey helicopter?
LOVE IT an r/c military scale boat , 👏 more more more,,,,plz 😇🙏
Awesome boat. I have the Alpha Patrol boat and loved it when I had a creek in my back yard. Boating is fun.
Great review....I never would have looked at it....performance looked very good
Very nice boat! Like it!
I believe the plural form of “cleatuses” is “cleati”. 🤓
And the plural of “tear” is “tearses”, which is what I’m crying over the loss of the mast light. 😭
I do love the audio at full-throttle… she just needs twin turbsies.
#doitfordale 3️⃣🇺🇸
Hey btw, rather than continue our convo in the comments, I slid into your IG DM’s. Lmk if you didn’t get the note.
this one was cool
keep up the great work!
Ive been looking for a boat like this .. thanks,
Great review, i am surprised also at the speed, my local hobby shop has one on display at the R/C counter, i may have to get it 🤔
The Swift boat was a high speed patrol boat used in the Vietnam War only
This looks FUN!!
Boat week yaaa
👍😎💯⚓️
that's a lot quicker than i thought it would be
100% agreed!! 👍💯😎⚓️
replace those noisy motors with a 55 turn crawler motor and you will get better slow speed performance and a much quieter running boat... add some weathering and youll have a decent scale boat
Ah yes John Kerry’s ride
I wish that they made it in 1:18 to match the Navy PBR.
I have the Riverine Patrol Boat 22" (discontinued). It seems faster and much quieter than this PT boat version. Although the one in this video sure looks COOL! It has much much more detail.
Point of fact, UPS never went on strike. The issues were resolved prior to the deadline. It sounds like the transmitter wasn’t secured well enough and also the packaging around those super delicate parts was insufficient. Perhaps Pro Boat should take note and address that issue and make them parts for installation after unboxing.
Excellent point. Its inappropriate to make stupid remarks abt mail handlers or couriers. Nobody actually saw anyone mishandle something, & when you seethe mechanical sortation equipment at FedEx or Amazon you will see something more-violent than any postal worker cud do with his hands
It’s a nice boat. How do you apply marine grease to the shafts on this boat?
put a wire in the broken mast and extend it to copper part before gluing should restore contact
Oh boy when my wife sees that I bought this boat.❤❤❤❤❤❤
The flag was at half mast for all the ups damage and the operator damage during battery install
Yes. A cleat in the UK. I do like the sound of a pair of motors slightly out of synch.
It is a shame they didn't design better packaging to prevent damage.
Great that you found this one !!!!!! 👍
I have a 1/24 panda hobby truck with the magnet body that also powers the body lights
It should be called a cleetus now.
It’s fun to name things, isn’t it!? Lol. For me, it will forever be a Cletus 👍💯😎⚓️
Seems a bit too fast at full speed, but better have too much power, and be able to reduce it, than lacking it. It will probably look more scale on 2S. Btw, the connection between the superstructure and the boat isn't wireless, as it using WiFi or and transmission technology, but just seems to use spring loaded contact pins, that make connection when the superstructure snaps into place. They added magnets on either side of the 'wireless' connector, to ensure it will be held back together well
CLEET is how it’s pronounced.
That’s a really cool boat. The speed shocked me! 😎
Do a dog fighting video with the mini warbirds?
What do you do with the free boats after?
Hey Nate , I've been thinking about the beacon on the broken tower ..... 🤔
I bet it'll work if you only glue the plastic and let the rod touch. BUT for added structure AND electric conductivity use a piece of house wire I'd start with 10gauge if that's too big, go 12 14 etc just like RCs lol . OR if all else fails roll up some foil and jam it in 😉
Either way
Ta-da all fixed 👍
Kinda early squad where you guys at and boat 🚤 week been amazing 😎😎😎😎⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Coolest boat on CZcams right now
Boat week, yeah! You guys do such a variety of RC. Your channel is the best!
I need to get a boat and use it for fishing lol
Alll was well , until you you snagged "Howard, the lakes famous ten pound Northern pike." l.o.l I've dropped a line, behind my Cajun Commander, and catching small Cat fish, makes it sort'a funny, but not for the fish.
@@marknickells6097 lol with my river ill have it attached to a fishing pole incase it needs some help coming back
We also have very angry ducks, that get agitated when the "Two-legged creatures," refuse to feed them. Pop corn, cheerios, Doritos , corn, and bread. I always thought, wild ducks, were supposed to be self -reliant. ? The little ones attack , and jump on my boats. Kids think it's funny. Me, they are a water hazard.
@@marknickells6097 i had a couple ducks come up and look at me like "food?" And they didnt leave so i gave them the rest of my worms and they just kept looking at me for food for like 7 minutes and then they walked away and went into the water , i saw them eating minnows and stuff and im just like really? you lazy ducks
Very nice!!!
Cool boat 👍👍
Can you pair this to a DX5?
So cool! I agree, the sound is good 😂
scale would be a jet propulsion
No jet propulsion on pcf boats . Twin screws.
Pbr boat or pibber had water jet propulsion
@@brianmartin9080 ah
Abby and Nate y'all rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
Oh Don't stop boat Week".....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤.........How fun.......Like she Said ..."IT TAKES A WOMEN TO TELL A MAN...."😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like drive line needs some marine lubricant
Real nice indeed 😎
Have you guys ever tested the kyosho wave chopper?
No I don’t believe we have! Worth checking out? ⚓️
Hi RC Saylors Nate and Abby, Popeye 🐕👋😀.
Neat a really cool boat. Lol pretty fast.
Thank you so very much and God bless you all everyday 🙏. Have a great week everyone
Abby is always better with the details, the raising of the flag was too funny
All it needs is metal propellers imho
its 24: long and how wide is it?
Cleat
I actually LOLed when she called it a cleetus lmao
Maybe its a bollard, cant tell that far away
It shouldn't be too hard to fix that mast and get the LED working.
I’m hoping I can just fix it. Would be cool to have that light working properly 👍💯😎⚓️
It even planes to scale
Take a break from the kids for a night and then after a NICE night make a video.. You guys are stressed. Love the videos.
Is there a good way to make it quieter?
Put earplugs in?
@@Blazerghost actually I think I have found the answer: speaker foam for sound insulation. The goal is to change the resonating frequency
But what I meant is would swapping the shafts or propellers help?
Love this PT boat; but is a bit of a shame that some breakage occurred during transit. 😞
P.S. *I LUV BOAT WEEK!!!* 😀
NIIIIICE 👌🏻
I like this
Does it have reverse?
Yes. Abby used it at the dock to stop without hitting the dock.
Your female companion sounds VEEEEEEEEERY nice.
Ah yes, John Kerry’s ride.
It's nice but a bit overpriced in my opinion, still nice though! Great vid
They are called cleats
I got the the military one Verizon dollar1 if I do I'll have the U2 on it and we'll show you how it goes
Great video, so glad you reviewed this boat. I am thinking of getting one. Just curious what's the run time on that 2200 battery? And does the remote keep track of boat battery life?
The air intakes on the bow will immediately be flooded in any gale or storm.
Yes, I’d say you are right. Don’t play in lakes while it’s storming!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Not true, air intakes on boats hav a separation "trap" so that water & air are separated & only air goes to the engine intake manifold. Of course these are dummies so that river water doesnt get into the hull.
Thinks like the mast and other electric parts I fix it whit pattex 100% repair gel nice boot and vid
Dam its pricey
It was not cheap but great quality! I am happy with it!
Faster than the stupid bait boat I payed way more for and can't use because it's so slow I fall asleep before it gets anywhere
Lol, you have the Need For Speed!! 👍💯😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylorsIt's pathetic I wanted it for the beach but I'm not even going to try it'll never get thru the smallest surf I should sent it to you so can get a giggle
SO Weird! You guys will review ANY OTHER Brand of rc Boat except mine.
We love featuring boats of all kinds! Please reach out to us 👍💯😎❤️⚓️
What if mercury made rc boat motors
Junk
Why is the American flag on half pole??
It's a clevis lol not cleatus
It's, cleats. A clevis is a different piece of hardware.
Geez, send the boat back. The "negative things" you said you'd soon report on all were damage during shipping problems. They aren't Proboat weak parts problems, they were a loose transmitter, etc., box flying around inside. So, unless Proboat/Horizon Hobbies didn't fasten down well enough the radio transmitter inside, the delivery company is entirely to blame for the broken mast and disconnected LED light. The front gunner's railing you said that was bent is made of metal. That package was punted by UPS, Fed-Ex or whoever, sounds like. -- I have Proboat's [now] discontinued PBR. R/C boaters today don't want anything scale/historical and authentic in REAL ship copies unless it's just a version of a realistic-looking pro-racing speed boat. Aquacraft is dead. Now Proboat only makes a single airboat and a rescue tugboat, the kinds of *unique* RTR boats Aquacraft made. RIP Tower Hobbies.
😎😎👍👍
NOT WORTH IT FOR $340.00 NO WAY. BRUSHED MOTORS NO WATER COOLING?
Just nothing quite like this currently being sold I guess is why they are asking that price. I do like the magnetic feature. But what would you recommend over this, in the scale boat world? ⚓️
Nate. PCF = Patrol craft fast.
