    Any hobby shops near Treasure Island Florida?

    Heading to FL for my niece's wedding tomorrow for a week. Looking to see if there are any hobby shops nearby that have any boat stuff or anything cool?

    OSE, OffShore Electrics is always close by no matter where your travels lead you. They are at your finger tips on all your smart devices 27/7, phone, tablet, lap top ,ect. they have all the cool boating stuff, if they ain't got it you don't need it. Saves you the hassle of driving lost in unfamiliar land scape, you could even end up on, the wrong side of tracks very dangerous. Board out of your mind at family functions, you can escape to your favorite forums too, all at your finger tips.

    shameless plug for the house ha ha (send complementary OSE race stickers to Jest Me)

      Danny, you make perfect sense.

      Yesterday after dinner going back to hotel I got the finger wag from the boss about hobby shop hunting. After all its really her vacation and not mine.

      how much is shipping here to treasure island, 33772 Florida? Shipping for whats presently in my cart to Canada is only $9 US so maybe I just wait until I get back. Or if Im bored order here and it goes to Canada.

      time for a late shower and get outside in the sun and fun, see what nautical interests are in this Marina.

            Sounds good guys. We will check them out. Went to the RBAR last night, great ribs ! Crazy little hole in the wall but fun as heck. Going off the beaten path we found some neat shops, not hobby of course

              If you were near Orlando, you could check out Rocket City Racing. They have a store wide 10% off, including the 34" Pro Marine MTR Skater.

                Hey! I forgot he was in FL. I could use a couple H&M couplers he only sells.

                Thanks!

                Might call him if possible, might be too late for shipping since I leave Tuesday.

                    I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi with Aligator tail last night at the original Crabby Bill's, very nice. Now to find some Conch fritters. We passed one place called "The Conch". I suspect they will have such delite's. People are fond of smoked mullet around here too so thats another thing to try out.

                    My couplers will be here on Monday.

                    Just a slow morning then out to the beach.

                    It was a fun wedding. very cool day and windy though for a beach wedding ceremony. Thankfully it was short and sweet.

                    We found out that I'm going to be a great uncle in 7 months too! Woo hoo!

                      Ray,

                      Hope you're enjoying yourself. First time in FL?

                      We are in an RV park about 25 miles north of you, for the rest of the week. It's about 100 miles from home.

                        Hey there. It's about my third time. Last time I was in Miami to go on a cruise to Bahamas.

                        Today is our last full day unfortunately. Tomorrow we pack up and head to the airport.

                        It's our first day relaxing and doing not much actually. Love the weather and hate to leave. Just being around all the water is very relaxing.

                        My brother has a place in Clearwater.

                        Got my nice couplers today
