Lost electric radio controlled boat at Whiskeytown, will reward if found

Was driving my 24” electric radio controlled boat at Whiskey Creek last night 7/23/26 around 7pm and it flipped and sunk. I spent an hour swimming around the area looking for it. No luck.

If anyone finds it, I’ll reward $100 to whoever returns it.

I’m pretty bummed, it was over $300 and I only just got it last weekend.

Pretty unlikely anyone will recover it, but just in case, I wanted to put the word out.

I normally take photos and videos of my RC activities, but I didn’t have a chance to do that this time around. See attached image for reference.

Thank you

Brand new Proboat Sonic Wake 24” sunk within a week on its 3rd run with less than 20 minutes combined time on the water. Warranty, or nature of the hobby?

So, I’m no stranger to boating. I’ve crashed them, I’ve flipped them, I’ve burned up ESCs from big props, I’ve had runaways, I’ve had to go swimming to get them, I’ve had big boats, small boats, fast boats, slow boats, fiberglass boats, ABS boats, red boats, blue boats, etc etc.

I’ve never had a total loss until now, but I can’t help but feel like this HAS to be some sort of warranty claim.

I got this boat last weekend brand new. First run seemed to go well, about 10 minutes run time. I tested the self righting on the shore right in front of me, seemed to work well. 2nd run was pretty short because I was chatting with some curious lake goers about it. 3rd run seemed to be going well too, then I caught a bit of a wake from a nearby big boat that was idling to its dock, it flipped, then it just disappeared.

I’ve never experienced this before.

I threw on a life vest and went for a swim searching for it for probably 30-45 minutes. No luck.

I understand the risks, maybe except this one though. Crashing, flipping, busting a prop or rudder, having to go get it, sure. I get that. Always be prepared to go get it, etc.

Total loss due to sinking though? On a brand new boat?

Would you guys just eat the loss and call it nature of the hobby, or would you guys pursue a warranty claim?

Whiskeytown Lake in California, my usual boating spot.

Google Maps search is just terrible. “No results” when searching for a pet store, when the pet store in question is literally in the image frame. iPhone 17, full cell signal, current iOS

Looking for the multi function turn signal headlight wiper switch, all the ones I’m seeing have the wrong connector. 1987 B2200
