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 don't know about that Terry, I have both!!!!! you just can't do both together!!!!!! LOL

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!
just started this summer and im up to 9
and 7 trucks/buggys
got my first truck last christmas
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.
My son and I have:
Toysport Syncron Mono
Toysport Triton Mono
Miss Bardahl 1/10 shovel ('67)
Tenshock Mono1
Woodstuff OPC Tunnel
and a rescue boat
On the heli side we have:
3 Walkera V120D02S
1 Walkera V120D01
1 Blade MSR
1 Gaui 200 (flybar)
and a MSH Protos 500 is on order... 8^)
The boat hobby started when we picked up a Traxxas Blast (now the rescue), then I bought a Proboat Fastech for my son for more speed. Went south from there...
Chief
Started last Jan with a 70 inch apache, then went to a 54 mystic both gas. Then got an H and M cat 37 inch then a 29 inch fire dragon for my wife then a FC Daytona and am now converting a 31 thundercat to fe
...very impressive!
I work in the hobby business and thought I had the RC stuff affliction/addiction bad, not even a major sickness with the FE boats (YET) compared to what im seeing here :) .... I got into FE boats about 4-5 months ago and our fleet is growing quickly.... DJ
Tunnels-PS295. Cats-H&M M1 Supercat Daytona rivercat. Monos-DF Cyberstorm HiTech 29. Hydros- Ms K Vac-U-Pickle Custom built 37" shovel 10th scale converted to FE Shadow. Rigger-H&M Evo II. AQ Harbortug recovery boat. Build in progress 37" cf Dragboat
I have 12 and it was as high as 15...two scale boats that still have to be built then I am up to 14....the fleet is 10 FE and 2 scale boats as of now....it will be a winter of building and I love building boats.
All the best to all.
