Title: Dolly boat
Post by: Bill D203 on July 07, 2010, 04:47:46 pm
My wife & I had a day out in the Cotswolds via a well known model shop in Kidlington. She insisted i build another boat so I got a Dolly boat. Now I have it done ready for Weymouth (yes I'm not racing this year) i hope you like the pics. It is only resting on my pond net for the photo. It goes very well on the big lake.
I have now had two runs out of it and will be ruining it at Radipole Sat/Sunday. Come and say hello if your there.

Very nice Bill!  :-))
I am also looking at buying one to build up into a fire boat with nozzle etc, I've seen quite a few on the auction site, but when you want one, they're like Scotch mist  {-)

Yes she's good like that. She insisted I buy an Arun as it would take some time to build and during that time she get's to pic what to look at on the TV. Now this may not be 100% ture but ha ho!!
