NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[obrien]

Its not necessary to come all the way to st. pete to pick up the retrieve boat. I am willing to meet someone halfway. i just got a notice today from the city and I have to get the trailer out of my yard now anyway. There are two boats in my yard along with the retrieve boat and its trailer. Two of them half to go. one boat is mine so it is going to stay.

I will get the rig from Jeff, drag it to Ackerman but someone else will have to take it from there

Mike let me know when your going to get it, so i can coordinate with jeff to get the trolling motor to him.

With all due respect to those who have spent countless hours trying to combine with a nitro club....It aint gonna happen...never was and never will be. I will bring the gheenoe to Ackerman. Lets lock it to a tree or one of the pavilions, provide keys to the members so anyone can use it anytime and be done with all this effort. We have pounded this issue enough and I'm getting a migraine reading the posts...If someone steals it, we will get a bigger chain and invest another one hundred bucks.....alot less than what it cost to build a r/c retrieve boat. See ya'll sunday. Ackerman is our home

It looked and sounded possible for a while until the totall bull$hit they layed on Hugh when he was there last weekend. It is working throughout the country but apparently the nitro boys around here don't like to play nice.

I don't see how chaining the boat to a tree at Akerman will work. Number one, I doubt the parks department will like it. Number two I guarantee it will be stolen, and what about the motor? I guess anybody needing to use it will have to bring their own motor or paddle?

That brings up the next question. Dues. It is time to renew if we are going to remain a club and have funds to replace the boat when it's stolen. Dues renewal is here!

Please bring your checkbooks Sunday. Dues are $50. Renewal of the boat and trailer registration is due no later than June 30. Cost is about $85.

Highndry, coordinate with rchippie. He has the trolling motor.

I'm confused. When I joined in April thought it was good through the end of the calendar year?

[sailr]

Bill, yours is good until June 2011. We gave you two free months. You are good to go!! Everybody else's dues are due now.

[sailr]

I have a brand new Mean Machine with hardware for sale for $120. Makes a GREAT LSO boat. If anyone is interested I'll bring it on Sunday. Another club member ordered it and then he disappeared.

Bill, could you scope out a nearby storage yard in Sarasota where we could keep the retrieve boat...and the cost?

So far the closest I\ve found in line is about 5 miles from Ackerman with a cost of $48.00 per month. Here's the link
It's the only facility I've been able to find via the internet with outdoor storage in the immediate Sarasota area. Others have been garage type units over $150 a month. (it would be cheaper to buy a new used boat each month on those rates)
