    Boats, Boats, Boats - How they are EVERYWHERE!

    I am new and learning about RC Boats. As some of you know I just ordered my First 'Nice' RC boat, the Aqua Craft Super Vee 27R. It should be in my hands in a day or 2. Anyway, for the last week or so i've been diving through these forums learning about different boat set-ups...thinking of nothing but fun boat RCing!

    On the drive home from work tonight on the Highway (near Akron Ohio - a Northern Mid-Western area) I saw a Trackor-Trailer with a load of a boat.
    It was all rapped up & I could read the word Formula on the rapping. It was a nice LONG boat and I said, "That's awesome". About a mile down the road it hit me.... That's Formula.....Formula Fastech (which I JUST learned about that RC a few days ago) however, this one was the LIFE SIZE 1. Sweet.



    Then, I pull up to my mail box and what's in there? A Hammacher Schlemmer catolog with this on the cover!!!!!!!!!!!



    THAT'S RIGHT ~ A FLYING HOVERCRAFT!!!!



    Priced at Just $190,000

    This is the hovercraft that glides over land and water yet also soars in the air up to 70 mph with the aid of integrated wings. A 130-hp twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine -- turbocharged and fuel-injected -- drives its 60" wood/carbon composite thrust propeller while a 1,100-rpm 34" lift fan inflates its durable vinyl-coated nylon skirt for hovering above the ground.


    And what else do they sell in this catalog?
    Only the best this invented for us RC Boaters...The Inflatable Walk On Water Mat!!!!!!




    This one priced at $999.95 for your convenience

    Discover the inflatable 90' sq. float that allows you to walk, run or lounge on water. Visit Hammacher Schlemmer to learn more.


    And Now I'm going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides.

    Now let's go BOATing !
