Was there a boat show today?

Manny,

What's up? I thought you were the Hansen Dam Irregulars profesional photographer?

Picture #1 is a U.S. Coast Guard 175 foot Keeper Class Coastal buoy tender. This ship has a Z-Drive propulsion system and a bow thruster.

Picture #2 is a very nice boat that I wish I owned, but know nothing about it.

Picture #3 is a full size Atlantic Tug. :eek:

Thanks for the great pics, keep em coming. :)

Take some pics of the new Sunday rc boat location. I forgot where Kmot said it is, but it is not Balboa. Too many bugs at Balboa. :eek:

Here is a link to my photo page. Some more boat pics.

Kmot: Yes they had a boat show only about a dozen or so boats.
Soar: That shiny little wooden boat is for sale.

[Soar Master]

Great pics on Flicker Manny. I like the Crowley tugs. Do you happen to know how much they want for the wood boat? It's good to have you back taking pictures again. :D

California Responder is part of a large of such boats. There are also the same boats in Oregon and Washington. Been on/in the washington responder about 10 years ago. Would make a great detail model with a lot of special details for other models with in the model. No plans as of yet. Just keep trying.

If you go back to my post http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=668601 of early April, there are more shots of Case Ace.. The owner / Captain of the American Pride is currently restoring this little tug after an epic journey bringing her back from the Caribbean :eek:

[gpzy]

Cool. Will have to go back and follow the progress on the restoration.

[Soar Master]

Manny,

Did you go to Balboa Sunday? I guess Kmot is back going to Balboa on Sundays. Sorry for the bad info. :( Why Balboa on Sundays? Why not Hansen? :confused:

[gpzy]

Havent had the chance to get out to either lake. Was going to try Hansen Dam this comeing Thursday but work keeps getting in the way. Gearing up for 12 hour shifts 7 days a week until the end of the year.

[Soar Master]

Sorry to hear that, but any job is better than not having a job. Stills sucks working so much! :(

[gpzy]

But yes it will be a good one.
