After filming "the King of Shaves" a few episodes back - I had to order the Rockstar from Proboat - I was bitten by the bug of RC GAS POWERED BOATS! The boat cost me $1350 (cad) to my door - but certainly was worth it! Everett soon had to order one when he found out I got one.. and now we both received our boats at the same time! Well - what better an opportunity for us to unbox them for you here on UA-cam, so you to can be tempted into this awesome hobby. Granted.. you need a BiG lake to run these..
After the unboxing - we decide to take you guys along for the maiden voyages with us! Unboxing and maiden all in 1 video.. it truly gives you a first hand look at how our first day went with these machines. Everetts was having some trouble.. as the throttle linkage collar and and screw fell apart mid run.. we believe it had to do with vibration, but it was soon dealt with! My boat was running awesome.. and was a lot of fun to blast across the water with. Engine break-in takes a few tanks of fuel .. and we should see these boats really PEP UP!
(Here is the onboard footage: • RC ADVENTURES - Warnin... )
We hope you enjoy the show, and we have earned your subscription!
To avoid a lot of typing for me in the future.. I have provided some information from the manufacturers website for the viewers.

That is ridiculously cool.
I'm so glad that you are finally so in to the boating fun my friend Medic.
And you have transfer that passion to Everett too.
You are rc-boating ...Rockstars for sure !!!
Cool rc boat
Guys; I have to tell you all this--I really enjoy what you put on my screen. I like the professionalism, its real interesting to me as purely a observer to your sport! Thanks
Richard Schreiber Really great to read that you enjoy the show. I started creating this show in 2009, and it's been an amazing journey in to the developing world of UA-cam, and the Radio Control hobby. Reading comments like yours have always been a pleasure :) ..
Richard Schreiber its more of an hobby than sport
That took a lot of skill to assemble...Well Done...
I'm impress with the quality of this boats, enjoy guys.....
You guys have far to much fun !
That intro always got mee !
If we're Canadian, I would drop the accent that only effects three words. lol oat, AAA, aboat.
I really admire most Canadians dorky goodness, a true gentleman like attitude. Its hard to show feeling in a text message. Don't be offended. You guys are great men.
i like how you unboxed them on your trucks and didnt use the trucks to get them out there
Medic you should get someone to custom make a boat trailer to pull behind the 5t
HIS TRUCK IS AWESOME!!!!!
RC Boats are cool and you know what's better then the Rockstar Gas Boat ? 2 Rockstar Gas Boats, that was awesome thanks for sharing.
I've been wanting one of these for a while. Now I know I need one!!!
Lil mo reaching for his dad how cute
Word of warning, the survos mite have a problem if they get wet. I work at my local hobby store, Phil's Hoddy Shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We had a guy come in that was fine tuning his Rockstar 48'', he was in shallow water about knee to waist deep when he was bringing it in, it went to full throttle and leeped at him and hit him then a nearby pier post. Splitting the hull, always check your inner water connections.
Love how you guys COULD hold finger over carb for first pull and actually choke them instead of pulling ten times to start HA
Hey, thank you so much for that advice actually.. I didnt know you could do that :)
Go gas, fuel, good...gone!!! Lol Jen is hilarious great job on the boats!
I want a shirt that says that XD
Oh man it would be nice to own a boat like this
@pretty fly for a wifi don't be a hater he's only 8
Ah the sounds of spring birds chirping boxes opening and boats blasting lol! Cheers

OMG Jem's comment last in the video was gdamn gold xD
Put a little flag on your boat to tell the difference from Everrits boat. Maybe a Canadian flag to represent!!!
You son is looking good, he has grown since I last tuned it, good job guys
Great looking BIG boats.Jem bustin your chops, Classic.
thanks for sharing.
I hate you guys! Not really, but I am super jealous!!
I love you so much
the on board camera was epic
Nice
That was pretty awesome. Breaking those things in is definitely a test in patience... look forward to seeing it when it gets completely broke in....thanks

What a terrific spot. Throw down a handful of buoys and you got yourself a nice track there
it's awesome to see how much he loves his papa :)
Now you need to put some buoys in the pond and have boat races. :)
On your powerboats,back in time when these first became popular, you had to build the entire boat. And Weedwacker-Motors were used. The BIG PROBLEM, was heating of the motor. I have this small Machine Shop where I built water-jackets for the guys. some used fish-tank bubblers to bring in cold water to run around the heads with a water jacket. This worked if you didn't run too long at full speed. As far as keeping them from dumping over at full speed was to place weights in the front of the boat to keep the balance correct. All Old-Technology on my part.--HAVE FUN!!
now you need a trailer that attatches to the losi to haul this thing around :D
LOL! Watching the 2 of you trying to open those box's. :-)
I just picked up a rockstar yesterday and I was wondering if you noticed that it seems to lean to the starboard side when in the water...atleast mine does. I think its because the gas tank and the weight on that side.
very cool. those things are massive. the races are going to be awesome.
lmao that looks like the real shit with the camara hooked up dam bro they are so freakin crazy lol enjoy guys hahaha!!!!
I see you trying to jump his waves haha
At first i didin t like the hobby but when i watched your videos i really liked and i bought one
4.5 hp of pure enjoyment! We've got one too. It's indescribably fun
zz
Ringed Motors don't need to be broke in like a NITRO MOTOR. These are not nitros.
That entire BREAK IN crap on a gasser is pure myth.
To seat the ring you need High Cylinder pressures to push the ring and keep it pushed against the cylinder walls.
if you run them slow, they will unevenly wear in the rings and walls, and you'll get blowby Early in a gas motors life.
Fire them up, get them slightly tuned, the run them up to WOT. Just don't hold them wide open for the first tank for more than 10 to 20 seconds. once that first tank is out. Pin it to win it.
I like the boat camera angle
wow. never thought much of boats,but those are AWSOME!
Now those are some sick boats
Kudos to the product because I dont see a paddle boat in the water yet so they must be reliable. This looks like alot of fun. Did the nitro trucks and cars, and planes but didn't do boats.
That is an...amazingly large boat
Y’all should race the rockstar and the shaver
nice boats maybe in my next life they sure are cool boats .. good score guys
its a monster engine inside .......insane...
Cool rockstar
The end, both struggling for words! Lol
loll you guys need a RC truck and trailer to haul them to the water loll
Great vids guys.
As a auto/bike tech for thirty years and a two stroke lover since birth lol. As soon as a two stroke gets up to temp pin it ! Not for lengthy times but"break in" needs to be hard. As any stretch in rod and rings needs to be at max for "wear in" max tolerances. Two strokes love to run hot but it's a fine edge. Plug colour is a great indicator. Always do a plug read at full throttle tben cut the engine and retrieve the boat and check plug. Happy tuning
Nice video guys and a nice play ground
great Video buddy love them boats
Finally a good video on these beasts in action
Yifyt
😍😍😍😍😍
Those boats are awesome
We are men we only read the manual when something goes wrong !!!!.....Sweet boats great price considering..lol
You have really been getting into boats, eh? Awesome man!
beautiful boats..!
That's a sexy shot with the camera on the water.
I like all your rc
Awesome !!!
I leave in South Florida,and 1000 yard from my building...> a big lake.So I decided to get this "rockstar" pro-boat.Not cheap,but I was very ....To make the long story...short,in five days,I went back to hobby store six times for different "malfunctioning" issues.So,I give up and RETURN the ...rockstar.End of story.My bad luck ? Hm.There is not to many reviews out there about this boat,so ...good luck
Let's see more wraiths and trail finders
Hey Medic! I just want you to know that I have been watching for a couple years now and really have taken interest in your proboat videos. Your reviews are detailed and honestly, the jokes you guys crack are so ridiculous they"re funny. I don't need to mention the assumed existence of batteries connected in Everetts Spartan. its cool to see you include the gang cuz it really brings excitement and quality to your videos. keep up the reviews and races. thanks to you guys, I have purchased an impulse 31, and I am pleased with the performance. best of luck.

Medic your full scale truck looks awesome!
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom
They are huge
Welcome to gasser boats medic !
Wow !! Sweet Boats with an awesome Sound ! Thumps up
You guys should get some little red wagons. Like the red flyers I think the brand is. And then lower it and put a fat blower on it with some headers coming out the side and put your boats on that. So when you walk down and back from the pond it's not the walk of shaaaaaaaame. Haha
You have an odd sense of shame bro.. Lol..
Awesome big lol Can see how you broke the bank with buying that they cost 1000 dollar wow. Boating looks like so much fun!
TOJO 1 k for both??
nukram 1k each
I like the paint scheme
Great video from the boat...

Glad to see some boating from the sparks studio, nice video work, have a look at my RC boat site on google+ for more boat action, great cats.
