        I was going to say,"when the wife complains about how messy the shop is." but then what better excuse to spend some quality time in the shop - that is JUSTIFIED!!!

          OK, maybe I was wrong... LOL...

          How about when she says "you want WHAT?"

                Yo Jesse, wasn't talking about scale versions of gas boats - I get that (sort of) but putting a fake air scoop on a boat designed for FE just bucks wind and slows things down. And it looks out of place to me. On sound, I was once asked why my FE Jet drive boat was so loud if it was electric, and I told the bystander that I used a cheap coupler. He didn't get it. But the damn Taiwanese offcenter coupler vibrated things so much it actually was loud. Reminded me of a gas boat.

                  My biggest hate is when the Hooker I paid good cash for says " You want to stick it where !! Well that will cost you an extra $50" If this keeps up it may just be cheaper to get married again !!

                      And wouldn't it be nice just to have a cuddle and a heart felt talk afterward. Not to much to ask is it??

                        Andy, pay the extra 50 bucks. Trust me, it's a lot cheaper than a wife!

                            Im with Jesse. Im all about scale, whether it functions or not. I will take the .1mph difference for the look. As for RTR FE, if you dont like the look of something on the boat, change it. I didnt like that ... whatever the heck it is exhaust bump thing.... on the back of the BJ26, so I removed it and made it flat. Its all about personal preference.... I like detail, ie Scotts (Skunk Works) 32" cat... Detail is most sweet! Scoops, Naca ducts... detail around the windshield... That boats got it going on!

                            And yes.. UPS .... Wanna do something interesting? Get a small box. Fill it w/ wadded up paper, spend the 10 bux and ship it to yourself. It took 3 days to come back to me and the box was beat to . A waist of money, but proved a point to a friend. Oh, and USPS, I received it in less than 24 hrs and it looked just as it did when I shipped it.. and cost 1/3 the price.

                            And, and not that I have had issues where I live now, but did where I lived before running a AQ Hammer EP... and we know how "loud" those are, Anyway, people who bitc.. complain about you running your boat somewhere. And it really erks me when they yell at a kid. SO, its okay for a kid to go hide out in an alley and O.D. on whatever, but god for bid a person try to have some inocent harmless fun. ... Ahh man, now Im all worked up!

                              the 'odd' thing is the AC hammer isn't much louder if you run a bl motor in it (submerged drive) .

                                poofy looking scale boats gripe me and the euro looking hulls with rounded corners.fake air scoops.
                                i like the practical sharp geometrical lines of the mean machine,has that wide flat look all business no crap hanging of it.
