    Bored Old Fart # 2

    I was looking at my rather extensive FE boat collection [9] not including sail and scale. I peered at my first loves H&M Micro Cat and the no step baby and said you have been in cobwebs too long. Charged the old NI-MH batteries and inspected the brushed motors and went out to the pond. These boats are still a blast today. Not superfast but for their hull size they are very demanding to run. It is all not about speed...skill is tops, which I sadly lack

      Well said Doug , it just goes to show the enjoyment factor is not related to how much you spend! My fav boat to run is the 31" Wild Thing i set up for my kids. Cost under $300.00 Aust and will run 45mph all day. Cheap chinese motor and esc ,hand made timber hull.

                  Douggie we are all fine. Tj is off the monitor and out growing his reflux. Things are always busy around here. We are married single parents due to working aposing shifts. I am relearning how to do everything thing one hand and a kid in the other. Its been a while but it's comming back to be. Im hoping to find a hull soon because it's comming into boating season for me.
                  Hope every things ok on your end

                      Tom that is great news about TJ, I am sure it is a big load of the shoulders for you all. Have you had a look at building a hydro Hull? I am so impressed with mt whiplash, it is better hull than any I have owned so far and very fast. As well as being a blast to build
