I just looked at the for sale thread of the boat you purchased. It's difficult to be 100% certain from the picture but it appears to be a spectrum receiver in the boat, i do not believe tactic rx's have dual antennas, or an external antenna at all for that matter. If it is spectrum than the OEM Aquacraft radio would not be compatible with it. Can you take a pic (and post it of course) of the rx in the boat so we can be sure to get you what you need?
I just lightened the image up in photoshop and indeed it looks like a Spektrum MR200 reciever in the boat.

Yea I checked the listing it’s an mr 200 ,so will the tactic offered by shaunessey work? I’m in so cal,90210, thanks,if the receivers are cheap enough I’ll buy both radios and an extra reciever as I have 3 boys and a bunch of boats ,
the Tactic RX will not work with Spektrum receivers. Furthermore, the one you have, MR200, will require you to get an older Spektrum RX with the DSM2 or marine protocol radio but, there are some new ones that are backwards compatible. You need to get an older DSM2 TX. If you plan to get a DSMR radio then the radios that are compatible with the MR200 are the DX4R pro, DX4C and an older DX4S. If you find a DX4S make sure you get an older one or one with a firmware that hasn't been updated because it will not work with the MR200 even though in the manual it says it will work with DSM2. . .I KNOW. If you plan to use other Spektrum receivers, since you mentioned you have more than one boat, then getting a TX capable of controlling more than one RX is advisable . . .with model memory. Otherwise an older DSM2 DX2e will suffice. You can get a used or new DX4R pro, an older DX4S and the least expensive 20 model memory DX4C, all DSMR radios, should work with the MR200 and will work with the newer DSMR receivers as well.
