    I feel so good! Only four boats at the moment with a new fe rigger being built, and hopefully a petrol deep vee next year. Hats off to the legends with many. And my wife thinks I'm getting unbalanced!?

    Yikes! I just counted. If I include the plug I dropped off yesterday at my composite guys shop to be molded it's 32 in various degrees of completion. I also have plugs for 6 hulls and molds for another so......yep it's a sickness.

    Need to have a yard sale.

    PAGS may be the king. Him or Jevmax down in Texas. I think Jim has a dedicated wing for boats.

    Smart guys. Takes brains and some ambition to collect enough dough to have an addiction that crazy. And if you're going to have a pricey addiction why not this? It's gotta be way more fun than a coke habit. Better people to hang with that's for sure.

    I only have 2 so far and I just got into boats the beginning of this month.

    Pro Boat Stiletto with 120a esc
    Pro Boat Miss Geico 17" soon to be fully converted to brushless when parts arrive

    Then I have 5 r/c cars
    Losi Ten-T nitro
    Ofna Hyper TT (Track car and team driver for Nitrohouse in SoCal)
    Traxxas Slash 4x4 with custom painted Baja bug body (Wifes)
    Duratrax Evader (Sons)
    Electrix Stadium Truck (Daughters)

    My wife wants to try out boats so she might pick one up soon. Got these boats so when we take our real boat out we can take them with us!

    Beautiful fleet.
    It is easier to take pictures than to count with one's digit.

    Lmfao! Yes must be single or have a secret room in the house!! I have 10 boats, have been limited to a certain number so the stock gets rotated every time I get a new one:). The wife didn't like the idea of scale race boats decorating the walls along with war planes hung from the ceilings. And I got the small room too keep stuff in.

    I started with tethered flash steam hydros in 1974. I was 8 !
    First rc a .40 methanol mono 1978.
    Since then it' s been planes, trains!, automobiles, submarines, DSRVs, boats.
    I gut the broken ones, keep the runners.
    Have a double garage at mother's place so filled wih gear, I moved to a new city and started again 14 years ago!
    Oops, add half a Dozen gas helis . . . . the only petrol powered toys I own.
    Total ? Sheesh. . . . . . . . Lets just say lots



    edit: yeah, single again .. . survived the parenting thing, daughter now 24 and no interest in rc !
