Darin's Testing Visit with Pro Boat - March 19, 2015

[Darin Jordan]

As part of my trip for the LA SAW evening on March 20-22, I was invited to spend the Thursday prior, March 19th, testing some new and old products with the new Pro Boat development group. Shot a few pics to share.

Was a fun day. Tested all kinds of products, ideas, and frankly, just bashed the heck out of some stuff.

I'm kind of excited about what's coming! I do know that Rafael and Mike have been working hard to listen and learn and I think their new development program will help to weed out some issues before these hit the market place.

Perfect? Of course now, but I believe, and I think I'd know, much, much improved!

I look forward to chatting more about this as the products hit the shelves!

So you tested hardwood floors, a white van, some radios and a red Milwaukee bag, some boats we've all seen before, and some LiPos with pretty blue connectors.......exciting.

Is all the good stuff behind the green metal door???

Hmmm... may be I can be of some use to you: remind me to take a photo of what's inside next time, got the key...

Come on Darin, throw us a bone or something................

[Darin Jordan]

The only bone(s) I'll throw are these:

1) None of the power systems are going to fit into the P-LTD scenario, and frankly, 95% of boaters out there will be thrilled about that. I think updating power systems will be a much more distant concern.

2) Any claims for "top speed" that show up on the advertising or boxes for these will be REAL and easily achievable from this point on! Power systems with solid head-room... A VERY welcomed update.

3) Wood? What wood??

4) Make more boat storage room...

Haha, I love the comments in this thread. You guys are awesome.


It was definitely a fun day. The fact that you had nothing to add to our current projects other than a huge smile really means a lot. Hopefully our customers will feel the same way you did.

Some good announcements are coming in a few months. Hopefully we can fill the current void in the RTR, FE boating category.

Full Disclosure :

Entering the Green Door(s) :

1) you will bump your head

2) find two rescue rowboats (used for temporary storage of lake water and mosquito breeding)

3) overnight accommodation for weird looking arachnids

4) various devices/materials left over from unsuccessful sunken boat retrieval missions

5) Jimmy Hoffa
