I went to the hobby store to get a couple of things, and the owner told me he had something for me, so he went into the back and brought out a box of boats, told me that I guy was going to throw them away, and thought that I would like them, so here they are. The owner at the hobby store gave me they guys number and I called him and he has other stuff that he wants to get rid of as well, so I'm gonna meet up with him and see what he has, hopefully he'll get back into the hobby, so I can have someone to run with lol.

The pink one appears to be hand built and so does the shovel nose. I'm not really sure what the other ones are as far as brand. This is going to keep me really busy during the winter

Any build advise? Set ups? I'm still a noob to boating. It was a lucky day today, even better since my b-day was yesterday lol

No, I don't have the hatches for some of them. I talked to the guy and they were all electric powered, the pink one was duel motor single shaft set up.

you can make hatches out of 1/32" ply and use your imagination.
