    How many Boats do You have?

    The well meaning better half brought this to my attention when she stated:
    You've picked-up 'Five Boats in Five Months.'

    ...no ...no way ...no wait. Started this in August, ...if you count the 'needing repairs' Sailboat, ...the $20 Walmart recovery boat, How did...? What the...? Oh well.
    She's right - again.

    Some on here, such as Senior Members, have been in this Sport a long time. ooh boy

    Curiously, and just for Jollies: How many Boats do You have?


    Happy Holidays From,

    Wildcat EP, Mystic 29 & Motley Crew (Presently listed as "Shipped" :)

          Four, so far, since Labor Day, 2012 when the first one arrived ... two 29" PB cats (MG29 and Mystic) and two 30" AQ Revolt Vee's (big brown truck just delivered the 2nd one, today ). Won't count my son's new Rio EP or his New Bright Fountain 76 (which is now our rescue boat). I kept telling my wife "this is the last one". Also (now) the proud owner of 12 LiPo packs, 4 NiMH packs, soldering iron, smart charger, variety of extra props, connectors, spare flex shafts, spare esc and motor and .....

          Just remembered, I also have a really old Cox propeller hydroplane that you tether to a pole, and it just goes in a circle, that I got when I was a kid, about 45 years ago.

              currently I own three, but if I look back over the years that I have been in this hobby..... countless. I scratch built my first hydro when I was 12 years old. I think I still have it. Well I'm 35 now so... how does that go? "you do the math". I have been off and on for years at a time. So litterally a few hundred have passed through my hands. But I know many guys that have owned many many more than me. Funny thing is, I'm still learning more and more about this hobby everyday.

                              About 14 including a couple under construction, not all FE, a couple sailboats, couple nitro boats and a scale lobster boat in the mix.
                              An original gold tub RC10 still with the original tires and a couple RC12i pan track cars, a blade 120sr heli and a mini telemaster under construction.
                              I'm an RC packrat I still have my first boat from the early 80's and my first control line plane from about 1975!
                              I still have a Fox .35 c/l engine from the early 70's bought new never ran and a bunch of 1/2a stuff I haven't looked at in 30 years!
                              If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
