    ProBoat "Arleigh Burke" Class Destoryer EP PNP

    Just saw this on the ProBoat site. They just released it. 43" Long, glass hull, nice detailing.

    Might have to see about getting one to use as a retrieval boat!

      This is a really neat boat. Keeping my mouth shut is really hard sometimes especially when I have friends who are really into scale "targets."

      The amount of detail you get is better than a lot of stuff this size, plus you can also add more if you're a rivet counter. I spent half a day researching the various hulls in the class while identifying all the add-on and spare parts you can get (most of them had just a part number for the description). The deck features have changed a lot since I worked with the real ones, but the hull looks like it hasn't been touched. What was really neat was finding something and saying, "Ah, so that's what they have now." Then I'd have to google the latest revision and see what's changed in the last 25 years. That was one fun Saturday at the office!

      Since it's a common scale (1:144) you can find a lot of accessories pretty easily.

      If you're into scale at all, this is a really cool addition to the fleet.

        thats sweet, i wonder what it can do with a brushless on 6s

        Would love to have one, but way to much $$ for me. Building one would be fun though.

          I'll tell ya, if I saw a boat like that coming to "rescue" me all the guys on my hydro would jump off and swim for their lives!

          Nice boat, Darrin.

                    Shipping added $92.00 to the cost - still a great price. Mine should be here Wednesday.

                        The boat came and I added all the bits that came with it.

                            This is very cool... I, too, am looking forward to the vids. I've never seen one of these in person.

                            I did receive one of the Pro Boat Serenity sailboats this past summer. Haven't had it in the water yet, but it's HUGE! I'm afraid that I'm running out of room to display/store this size of boat, which may prevent me from ever trying to get something like this. Would be cool to have, however.
