    Addition?

    I meant Addiction. Why is the last boat, never the last? We say that this is to be the last boat we're going to get, but it never ends up that way.

        I think it's because there are so may diffrent types of boats. On top of that add hundreds of custom boats that have been done very well. Just when I thought mt collection was compete I find that next "HAFT" to have one of a kind boat. The only way to stop from buy more boats, is to stop looking. Thats just impossible for me. 50% of this hobby for me is buying and selling with the other building and running. I my just be the worst addict if them all....hell look under my name!!!!

          That's how it started for me. I guess those ebay boats have a purpose. They hook you in, you want something better, then you lose your mind.

              Heck, this sounds like a tell all meeting. So, therefore I confess to 9 FE boats, 2 sailboats and 2 scale boats

                FE anonymous.

                Should we all confess? Hi, I'm *****, and I have an FE boat addiction.

                          Thank you for sharing Doby. I am currentely awaiting my paycheck direct deposit @ midnight so I can pay for the SW36 hull I have in the mail. My last boat delivery was 2:30pm this afternoon. I am unable to unbox it as I have no shelving left. I need to install a couple hooks in the wall to hang it. Who would like to share next?

                            Thanks Tom for getting that off your chest, I'm currently having issues with my "pusher",,,lets call him ,,oh lets say "Steve". "Steve" keeps offering new product that can't be bought on the street. I just can't say no......And the feeling I get when I use his "product" is addictive.

                              It's great yo are in touch with your problem. I am still in denile. I tell myself I "need" it..not want it. I to have been wraped up in this by the same pusher. I don't know what I am going to do when the money runs out. I have thought about selling myself...but a couple attempts cost me more in dinner, flowers & self respect in regards to all the begging for the sevice in witch I am suposed to be getting paid for...
