Horizon Hobby Pro Boat® Volere 22 EP RTR V2 (PRB3050B)
One of the most sought after styles of the 1950s, the Volere™ runabout is picture perfect on the lake or on the mantle. With a look that’s stood the test of time, these wooden masterpieces are some of the most beautiful watercraft in the world. This scale model features a water-cooled 550-size electric motor and Pro Boat® 2.4GHz radio system. Plus, real wood trim is layered on a blow-molded ABS plastic hull to create a realistic look. Right down to the tiniest detail, the Volere is the real deal from its elaborate interior to its elegant wood finish. This classic of the lakeside is a symbol of a bygone era.
