Default RE: Retrieving a sailboat...

Brad
I just ordered a "Southhampton Tug" to use as another potential rescure vessel. They are being soldby "Wal-mart" on line for a very resonable price $129.00 UDS. I don't know if Wal-mart ships out of the US but this is the best price I have seen on this boat. From reading about this particular model that Wal-mart is selling there are few "tweaks" it will need to make get it tomore sea worthy status.
Here is a link to the forum I mentioned. It has some good information for anyone interested in getting one. The prices was too good to pass up. It took a while to get one as they sell out their stock almost daily.
Here is a link to the Wal-mart web page and another to the rcgroups.com forum on these boats.

I like the Altantic Tug too- I believe both products are sold around the globe and suspect are sold "down under".
