    Gator hit

    RC boating in Florida can be very difficult at times. These pictures depict the carnage when you are unsucessfull in avoiding the alligators. My friend George hit a Gator at ENCORE RV RESORT in Bradenton Florida with his brand new Proboat Mystic. George has since moved on to a MOTELY CREW because the pointy ends are much stronger. Goodluck George. BG

      George's boat, George had to go get it. There was a significant shortage of gators in our lake this year and I was very surprised to see this happen. BG

        Gator Boat repair

        Here is an update on George's Mystic which struck a gator last month. As you can see by before and after pictures, men from the West Florida Model Boat Club in Sarasota Fl. have some serious talent. Great job by Bill Allard and Pat Branigan.

          Damm, gator, I would not want to be the retriever!!! This time of year we (here) have to worry about carp. We run it a wide flat river but the carp are spawning or something and at the surface a lot. When one of them gets hit it might flip the boat and kick the rudder but never does damage, at least to the boat. I've seen some other fish that have not faired so well. Anyway, good job on the repairs, looks good!!
