Overview

Commanded by Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, the PT-109 was on assignment to intercept a convoy of Japanese destroyers when it was rammed and sunk by Japanese destroyer Amagiri on August 2nd, 1943. Lieutenant Kennedy's actions to rescue his crew members and lead them to safety have given the PT-109 a prominent place in American naval and popular history.

Now, Pro Boat offers a scale-like replica of the most popular PT boat in history. The concept of the scale design inspired by Bryant "Cap" Thompson, the PT-109 EP RTR features an authentically detailed hull and installed lighting kit that will satisfy warship and JFK enthusiasts and with a stylish display stand, the PT-109 EP RTR can be displayed proudly. The Pro Boat PT-109 EP RTR is the only RTR warship on the market so anyone can enjoy the realistic, historical look without having to build a kit model.

The PT-109 offers high-performance features known to the Pro Boat line. A sealed, electronic speed control with reverse is durable and preprogrammed, plus a dual motor and battery operation mean longer run times. And as always, the installed Pro Boat 27MHz AM 2-stick radio adds reliable control.
