Thanks for all the compliments Jay. I've been building models since 1945-46 and I am not going to stop just because some guy is making ARFs somewhere. As I tell everyone who is in to ARFs and is dropping out, 95% of the fun is building them. They don't believe me even as they try to sell off all their stuff after a few years. I was an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry for 40 years and I'm still building. I really do not have much experience with boats. I think Dumas is still making kits, maybe some European companies too. Start out with single drive and be sure to get a radio on 2.4. Sorry, I can't help you any more. Dan.
