Horizon Harbor 30" Tug Boat RTR

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Scale Cruiser and Rescue Vessel! Every RC boat fleet needs a reliable workhorse, and the Pro Boat Horizon Harbor is exactly that. The Hobby Hideaway Team absolutely loves this 30-inch tugboat because it is not just a stunning, highly detailed scale model—it is a genuinely functional piece of equipment! If you run fast, high-power offshore boats at the local pond, the Horizon Harbor is the ultimate rescue vessel. Featuring heavy-duty retrieval arms that easily attach to the bow, you can safely corral and tow a stalled or flipped speed boat back to shore without ever having to wade into the water or launch a kayak.

Unmatched Scale Detail & Heavy-Duty Utility Pro Boat went completely overboard (in the best way possible) with the scale details on the Horizon Harbor. From the molded tires along the hull to the intricately detailed interior and functional LED lighting system, it looks incredibly authentic out on the water. The best party trick? It features an actual working water cannon mounted on the deck that shoots a stream of water, completely operable straight from your transmitter! Underneath the scale exterior, it is powered by a massive, high-torque 700-size brushed motor and a 40A ESC, giving it the serious low-end grunt needed to tow large, water-logged RC boats against the wind.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Functional Rescue System: Includes removable, dual retrieval arms specifically designed to hook and tow disabled RC boats back to the dock.

• Working Water Cannon: Features an integrated water pump and rotating deck cannon that you can operate directly from the included radio.

• High-Torque Powerplant: Equipped with a massive 700-size brushed motor and a 40A ESC optimized for heavy pulling and long, efficient run times.

• Scale Lighting: Pre-installed with super-bright LED navigation and cabin lights, perfect for dusk and evening patrols.

• Incredible Scale Realism: Packed with molded details including bumpers, a winch, a detailed pilothouse, and a classic tugboat trim scheme.

• Oversized Steering: Features a high-torque steering servo to maintain absolute control, even when towing a heavy load in choppy water.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To make your Horizon Harbor look truly authentic in the water and to maximize its towing efficiency, you need to add some ballast! Because the hull is quite large and buoyant, adding some lead fishing weights, BBs, or sticky automotive wheel weights inside the hull along the center keel will make the boat sit lower at its true scale waterline. This added weight prevents the tugboat from bobbing around aggressively on windy days and gives the propeller a much deeper, cleaner "bite" into the water for maximum towing thrust!
