eBay has an f-31 kit for sale for $150. Go to eBay and type in Trojan Boats.

TC, Did you build that from scratch? Very nice model.

Holy Cow! I thought shifter, throttles (with proper coloured knobs), radio mike with coiled cord, knobs on the radio, GPS, fish finder, life jacket on seat, ident decals, 120 volt cord and single step in rear cockpit were enough. But this looks like a tough crowd.

Yes I built it from scratch. The hull started life as a 2X6 piece of cedar from a backyard project. The rest is balsa, wire, and plastic. The anchor chain I got from my wife.

I saw some models at the boat show in January and figured I could do something. That's what happens when there is 3 months to go to "boating season."

Oh yes, the teak strips you see..........is teak.

TC don't take this 'rough' crowd to seriously, they are probably like me, JEALOUS that we cant do a model as beautiful as yours. Nice skills to get it looking like that! Very nice. See you could make extra money in the 'Non Boating Season' building these and selling them to us 'non-skilled' members! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:
