Guys,

I am a newbie to scale modeling. I have just finished a first simple midwest static wooden boat. It turned out great, and im looking to buy another, when I started to read up on RC wooden boats. I like really good quality wood boats. I did some research, and I was going to stick with the midwest line, because the plans are great, lasercut, and they are not that hard and seem to be suitable for a beginner. However how can you not drool over the chris crafts...

Whats your thoughts on these lines of boats for a newbie... really interested in the 600 series from billing boats.
