They sound like they'd be a treat to see pictures of... what was rc like 40yrs ago?

Apparently it was pretty cool, my dad used to yell me stories about how many people would stop and watch my grandfather, dad and his 3 lil bros. Run them in a park lake near there house. Pretty intricate for there day I guess. And they drew a big crowd everytime. Next time I'm at his house ill go in the attic and see if I cant get some pics. He lives a lil far from me so.....I'm all for a construction water craft/ heavy duty marine construction section.

What about commercial fishing boats? Haha!

I like to build fish boats from scratch as much as the other stuff and there certainly is the same craftsmanship involved but it isn't construction equipment that's for sure. Having said that though, I don't think it would kill the quality of this place if there was a spot for boats/ships. Someone posting pictures from a boat/ship build won't ruin the site it will only expand it but I suppose you can include too many things and end up losing sight of why this forum was created in the first place( TRUCKS and CONSTRUCTION)....

Sooo... can I post pics of my boat yet? Just kidding... Oh wait...I already have

The reflecting pool in Carmel, IN - as large as a football field, about 3 feet deep, clean water. The Indy Admirals use it regularly for their scale boats. The SubRegatta has been held there the past few years.
