The Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48 8S (PRB08052) is a large‑scale, ready‑to‑run deep‑V that pairs a factory‑installed 8S brushless system with rugged ABS construction for confident high‑speed running on big water. Delivering 50+ mph performance, it introduces self‑righting to a model of this size and adds dramatic underwater LED lighting at the transom.
Powered by a Spektrum 4685 950Kv 4‑pole brushless marine motor and Firma 160A Smart ESC, the Super Sonicwake features dual independent water‑cooling for reliable temps. The Pro Boat SSL (Strap, Slide, Lock) system speeds up battery changes, while a breakaway rudder, quick quarter‑turn canopy latches, and a waterproof receiver box simplify operation and maintenance. The included Spektrum DX3 transmitter provides a battery power level indicator for peace of mind on the shore or from a full‑size boat.

You might say the Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48” pushes the envelope, but that's putting it mildly. This big boat rips the envelope to shreds — so you can streak lightning-fast over large lakes and ponds, absolutely dominating anything else on the water without a care in the world!
Pro Boat achieves several exciting “firsts” with this large-scale, ready-to-run deep-V. It's the first boat of its size in the history of RC to have self-righting capabilities. It's also the first Pro Boat model to enhance its awesome looks with underwater LEDs.
The Super Sonicwake 48” is the latest member of a deep-V family that began with the powerful Sonicwake 36”. That boat's incredible performance made it the most popular model in the Pro Boat lineup. So if bigger means better, then get ready. The Super Sonicwake 48” is about to blow all others out of the water with the best features, the best performance, AND the largest size.
The Super Sonicwake 48” has a factory-installed Spektrum 8S brushless power system capable of producing 50+ mph speeds. Independent water-cooling systems for the motor and ESC keep your hard-working electronics at safe operating temperatures. Depending on which recommended LiPo battery option you use, you can maximize speed or extend run time. The innovative Pro Boat SSL (Strap, Slide, Lock) battery installation system lets you exchange packs in just a matter of seconds.
Despite its impressive size, those and other features make the Super Sonicwake 48” convenient to operate and easy to maintain. The thick ABS hull hangs tough through big jumps and rough waters. If the breakaway rudder strikes a rock or other hard object, it rotates up to minimize any hull or hardware damage. The canopy attaches with quick 1/4 turn latches, making it fast and easy to remove with no risk of stripping screws.
The Super Sonicwake 48” adds fresh graphics to the popular styling of the smaller Sonicwake. As it cuts through the water, underwater LEDs at the transom illuminate its wake with splashes of light. Day or night, this is the ultimate RC boating experience!
Because of its speed and size, the Super Sonicwake 48” is best suited for very large ponds and lakes. Still, driving safely and comfortably from the water's edge is worry-free. If the boat flips, it will self-right. A battery power level indicator on the Spektrum DX3 transmitter lets you know when you should return to shore.
And if you happen to own a full-size boat, take it out and relax onboard by running your Pro Boat Super Sonicwake 48” from there. Enjoy the best of both boating worlds at the same time!
