Hello everyone,
Just a few words to introduce myself to the forum.
I've been a modeler since primary school and have tried most disciplines of the hobby during the past 40 years. Currently, my main passion is RC planes of a wide variety and sizes, but I'm now looking to expand my horizons by adding some boats to the fleet as a supplementary discipline. The last boat I put together was some 30 years ago; a Fantome 48" with an IC engine similar to a moped, which I made for a work colleague. Back in those days I also had full size river boat, moored on the Ouse in Cambridgeshire, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with boats and boating terms.
I've not yet bought myself a model, although I hope to do so very soon. I have a shortlist of possibilities and just need to make a decision. I'm mainly interested in Sport Fishing boats and Luxury Motor Yachts and my list reflects this, containing model kits built primarily from wood, wood and plastics, mostly plastics, to what are best describes as almost ready to run inclusive of motor and ESC.
Whatever I decide I look forward to sharing my progress on here.
Steve.
