Late night Ebay impulse buys...
Hey guys, I'm pretty much a noob to r/c since I've gotten my first, a Revo truck, about 5 months ago... and I was playing with the idea of getting a boat.
Well, that's all changed now:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
Looking at $120 shipped.
If you all could give me your comments or suggestions; good or bad, let 'em rip. PM me if they're REALLY bad.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a nitro engine?
Thanks in advance, Oz

Hey - a fellow Rhode Islander... Does OZ - indicate an Aussie ??
Where are you thinking of running. I will be of little to no use to you with the Nitro (I have owned 2) but if your ever thinking of Gas I will be glad to help.

RE: Late night Ebay impulse buys...
Thanks for all the replies, guess I've found the thread for these boats over in the nitro section.
Nope I'm from FL, working on a sailboat here in portsmouth, just getting a pimp my ride sorta thing done to her.
there's a nice pond close by here I've heard other guys in the yard talking about going to... I don't think this marina would take too kindly to the new addition at the dock.
Of course if we were a little farther north we could've been running them in the streets after all the rain...

Selemat, 66' 1974 PJ Ketch... they seemed to varnish EVERYTHING back then. It's been a very long process, but we're almost finished. We (me and another guy, hence the length of yard time) have done many upgrades and replaced nearly every system on her, varnished everything, new interior upholstery...
As we move more and more stuff back on to her, she's really starting to shine.
If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself.

Well I can think of worse places to have to work !! I handled New England Ropes and Southern Ocean Rope / Maxwell for a few years. It is always fun seeing how the filthy rich can spend their money. Biggest customers boat was [link=http://www.mari-cha4.com/]Mari Cha IV[/link]
