HM - RESCUE - EPP Boat Kit

Hacker Model RESCUE 20-Inch EPP RC Boat Kit

The Hacker Model RESCUE is a purpose-built utility boat designed to help retrieve disabled, overturned, or stranded RC boats and floatplanes. Its wide, low-profile hull provides a broad contact area for gently pushing models back toward shore.

Constructed from durable EPP foam, the RESCUE combines a lightweight design with a steerable rear-mounted pusher-propeller system. Instead of using a traditional rudder, the complete motor and propeller assembly pivots to provide responsive steering and excellent maneuverability.

It is not only a practical addition for RC boat and floatplane owners, but also an enjoyable and unique RC boat to operate on its own.
