RC boats, or remote-controlled boats, are miniature watercraft that can be operated from a distance using a handheld transmitter. They come in various types, including racing boats, sailboats, and scale models of real ships. RC boats are popular among hobbyists and can be used in ponds, lakes, or even the ocean, depending on their design and size. These boats are powered by electric motors or gas engines, allowing for different speeds and performance levels. Many enthusiasts enjoy customizing their RC boats with unique paint jobs and accessories. Competitions and clubs, such as the International Model Power Boat Association, often host events for RC boat enthusiasts to showcase their skills.
