Something I've been playing with for a little while. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. I started playing with a small paddle boat and added a trolling motor and a couple of solar panels to it. It really worked out well, but the small size and horrible hull shape became a brick wall. I wanted to take this project to the next level so I picked up a 1976 Newport 17' sailboat. Now we're talking! We now have an RC rescue boat that can carry ALL of our gear, charge batteries, take us to islands/calm water and you can even sleep on it! All built out of simple, low budget parts. Here's some pictures of our new float "Current Situation".
