    Any one ever find a boat?

    While looking for the hatch to my mini vee not (mini v) I was wading around the pond and I found a proboat mini c. It's the middle of winter but the pond is only 2.5 feet deep and it was about 20 feet from shore. I did eventually find my hatch and need to add some foam to it

    Was it a white Mini-C? With a brushless motor? Did you find it in Virginia?

      Cool!

      I have a diver friend and he's found other boats while looking for mine. The hulls were not useful, but I've gotten Hughey gearboxes and other good running hardware from them.

      If I had a way of knowing who had owned them, I'd have returned them, but that's never been the case. If you know who it belongs to, by all means return it. If not, enjoy your treasure!

        Man, I wish I had more people running in my pond to have this possibility. Its a fairly new pond so I know I'm the original pioneer in this water, so MOST likely no hulls on the floor...

        Awesome find tho! Post some pics!

          It's white and stock, Found in Portland Oregon. I'll check with the LHS it's 1/4 mile from the pond. It's motor still runs but I'm sure the rest doesn't work. It has a cracked bow and a hole in the stern.

            I thought I was the only one who sank a mini-C.
