RE: Getting inti sailing, can't decide on a boat.

RE: Getting inti sailing, can't decide on a boat.

I know what your thoughts are about the paradise, but I was able to pick one up for real cheap ($50). It's in new condition and all that it needs is a radio system. I have a DX7 and a spare Rx so...

RE: Duratrax tires?
