Thank you for sharing this. There are a lot of builds out there, and this is probably the most simple and cost effective ones I've seen. Just tried my own "rescue boat" idea today and ended up having to get wet.. so I'm building one of these.
You are very welcome. I really enjoy building all this. I am not that good of swimmer so its needed by me for sure LOL! One other helpful hint. If I go after my smaller RC boats the back can be a bit high. I take a piece of Bunji cord and wrap around the bottom of the back pipe to help hold the boat lower in the water. It works great. You can also put it around the center support to keep the boat you are rescuing further forward.
Thank you, I cant take all the credit. I did see another and made my own version. If you look at all the comments everything is there. For sure make it your own. I cant say mine is perfect but it works very well.
Thank you very much It works very well!! I added the arm too so here you go 🙂 Robotic arm www.aliexpress.us/item/2251800506639727.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.272.183b1802e1Qd6n&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa This is the motor and ESC www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805314333653.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.313.183b1802e1Qd6n&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
I drilled new holes in the servo arm bracket. I mounted the motor directly to the bracket. I did not use the mount that came with the motor, however I did use it for a template to drill the holes.
Its a Dumborc with the receiver. I got it on AliExpress for about 31.00. Remote and Receiver combo www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832868131747.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.344.183b1802e1Qd6n&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
I am not really into building for hire. I put this out as a DIY so others can do it themselves. I am so sorry but I am just not set up to do it for hire.
Hi, I am not looking really for high performance just being able to retrieve my boats when they flip or have issues out in open water. To me its mainly to keep me safe but still fun to run and on a budget too. :-)
Thank you 🙌 It is a fun project for sure and actually its fun to run. I will be putting out another video soon. I improved one part of it but want to fine toon it a bit before I put out the update video. I will tell you for the catamaran boats its very much needed! Fast fun and cant get them back in if you flip them :-)

Hey brother, i'm 100% building this rescue rig! Just one quick question: what diameter pvc pipe did you go with? 25mm? 20mm? Thanks for everything, the clip is great and very helpful!
I make it out of all 1/2 inch PVC and it is plenty big enough. Any larger and it gets very bulky. You are very welcome, that is why I put it on here so others can share the wealth of not having to swim after their boats :-)
Great build Brad, I’m thinking I’m going to build myself one of these. Thanks 👍💯
Thank you Dan! I would if I were you. It works great!

@@bradsrcsmore3848 That's a great idea and was one of my concerns as well. I referenced your channel in my build video so credit is given where due
Good idea ive scathing my head on some type of recovery boat for my big new ms geico 36 v twin boat u gave me a good idea
Thank you, I cant take all the credit. I did see another and made my own version. If you look at all the comments everything is there. For sure make it your own. I cant say mine is perfect but it works very well.
Great little rescue boat. Do you have links for the motor and ESC? Thanks
Thank you very much It works very well!! I added the arm too so here you go 🙂

The motor holes are typically 16x19 but that servo bracket holes are 14x14 so how did you mount the motor?
I drilled new holes in the servo arm bracket. I mounted the motor directly to the bracket. I did not use the mount that came with the motor, however I did use it for a template to drill the holes.
Such a cool idea!!! Love how well it works!!
Thank you!! 😊 I loved making it! As you know its nice to customize your stuff. Building it yourself is a entire new level!!
Really intuitive Brad! That is so cool! Dude bet you could make a few of these and sell em for profit! 👍🏻🙌🏼😎
Thank you Robby! Actually I am making a second one to sell so good call 😁
What kind of receiver? hopefully cheap, l.o.l
Its a Dumborc with the receiver. I got it on AliExpress for about 31.00. Remote and Receiver combo

How much would you charge for this to be built for a catermeran boat genisis ?
I am not really into building for hire. I put this out as a DIY so others can do it themselves. I am so sorry but I am just not set up to do it for hire.
Nice! Don't you think that standart catamaran baloons would provide better perfomance?
Hi, I am not looking really for high performance just being able to retrieve my boats when they flip or have issues out in open water. To me its mainly to keep me safe but still fun to run and on a budget too. :-)
Do you think this would be powerful enough to push a 1 to 2 pound duck or a 10 pound goose possibly?
If those are floating and the boat is on 3s I would think it would.
great job champ..looking perfect🤩👌

I improved one part of it but want to fine toon it a bit before I put out the update video. I will tell you for the catamaran boats its very much needed!

Hi, is there any way you can share the excact parts list?
