    I order every thing more of less in the same color or similar shades of color, trust me, when the number of your collection reachs certain point, she no longer can tell what is what , you will be in the safe zone from then on!!!
    Too many boats, not enough time...

      My wife loves that I am into RC! She says I act like a little kid and I have been into RC trucks for 3 years now and just when she thought I was getting settled in and enjoying my trucks I started watching videos of boats and had to have one!!! Just got my Impulse 31 in the mail and my wife says....."here we go again!!!!" She loves it but don't want to play with them herself....says she likes to just watch me have fun! She is looking into getting a kayak of her own here soon after she seen the one I got for boat recovery and fishing!!!
      Everything I do I learn something new!

        Umm, what if your RC hobby addiction DOES make it necessary to have a 2 car garage to store everything in?
        Perhaps I'm worse off than I thought....

          Wife asked today if she buys a real boat would i give up all my R/C toys in the house, since we don't have that kind of capital, i feel all the more that I am in the "safe zone"

            I am in REALLY bad shape! I have 5 cars, 2 trucks, 1 boat, 1 R/C crawler, 4 R/C boats, and a set of golf clubs....

              Or you could be as bad as me and my fathers collection. We have 6 1/8th scales, 5 sport 40s, 2 40 size aeromarine cats, 3 gas outriggers, 2 gas sports, 1 gas mono, 1 crackerbox, 5 .21 outriggers, 2 .45 outriggers, 3 .67 outriggers, 3 electric sports, 2 electric monos, and 1 electric outrigger (soon to be more electrics). So trust me, your collection isn't that bad. Also, that's what are built not whats in sticks to be built.
