It wont be one way traffic I hope, you must have a few tales to tell with 45 years of ships and the sea. Welcome aboard.  Start with a Springer, I`m a bit biased but it`ll get your feet wet and the basics of model boating in one fell swoop. O0  You forgot to put your location up, helps a lot, clubs, shops, lakes etc
