Winter project - need some advice
 

Looking to put together a boat that I can use from my full scale boat in the summer - I would like to find something that looks like a small yacht or something that would get some looks on the water - I have built a swamp buggy from scratch build - so I am fairly new at this - also want to keep cost down.

Want to keep power electric - that is the best scenario to take on the boat

Any ideas would be appreciated or links to sites

thanks

Cooperfly,

There are so many boats and companies out there that you can spend days looking through all of them. Something to keep in mind is how many hours are you able to dedicate to a boat to have it finished and ready for summer. With a lot of these scale boats, it is easy to get caught up in a time consuming build.

Here is the link to Dumas Products. Maybe they might have something that grabs your attention. "Go for a simple boat." Keep away from their big boats because they may easily take you a year or more to complete.

They have a "discounted" section and have some pretty good deals to keep cost down. Recently, i picked up the "Osprey" (a good starter boat) because the price was right and it should not be extremely time consuming to build.

Best of luck.
