1:10 Scale 1955 Gale V For Sale!

[Coug90]

For Sale: 1955 Gale V with real mahogany decks! This is a model of the Schoenith's legendary Detroit boat that stole the Gold Cup from the Seattle teams in '55 and became national champion in the same year.

It is constructed with plywood over foam and has hand-painted graphics like the real boat. Six years of hard racing in the Northwest and still looks good on the water. It could use some new silver paint on the bottom and a little refurb. The boat has won many races, 4 Classic Thunder championships, a couple of TCS titles and most recently placed a close second at nationals. It's been a great boat for me. It's light, sturdy and proven.

It comes with the stuffing box, motor mount and velcro in place, so the setup remains. It also includes a Speedmaster rudder, skid fins for CT and NAMBA specs, an installed standard servo mount and a boat stand. Selling locally is preferred as I'd love to race against it and see it on the water still, but It's first come, first served. $400 plus shipping. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks.

"I'll take it" as long as shipping is under $50 to Michigan 48322... which it should be.

I race with MMEU and have been looking for a good 10th scale as its become one of our regular classes.
Be cool to have this Detroit boat racing in Michigan.

Thank, Dave

Dave, I'll check on shipping. It's been a while since I tried to ship a boat, but I think it was a little over $50. It's a big box! I'll keep you posted via email. Glue Sniffer, thanks for looking out. I appreciate it.

With UPS Ground services it should ship for about $35 to $45 given the box should weigh around 10 to 15 lbs.
Let me know and I'll get you settled up via PayPal.

Thanks,
Dave

Gotta Love The Shovels !!!

I have the boat packed to my satisfaction with plenty of protection around it and will get shipping quotes to Michigan. I still think it's going to be over $50 as it weighs more than 15 pounds. Let's call it potentially sold to dethow for now. But if you aren't happy with the shipping cost, it'll go to one of two others who want it. I'll email you with the shipping cost and you can make a decision on what you want to do.

Bottom line is that if I have to pay those shipping costs, I will.
But I think we can do better on costs with UPS.

Thank, Dave

I'll still take it.
Get me your PayPal information and I'll get you settled up for $525 shipped.

Thanks,
