    Hello all!
    Been thinking of this hobby on and off for a few years and im ready to build a boat with guns on it!
    I've built afew rc boats in the past, but nothing quite like this..

    Looks like I'm pretty fortunate, strike models is just a short drive away and there's battles in Snohomish & Cle Elum?

    Now for a first boat.. Hmm.. ;)

    Try to make our battle. It is always helpful to see some boats before you make a decision.

    Unfortunately I won't be able to make the battle..

    But i did, however, purchase my first ship!

    I've got a SMS Viribus Unitis coming in the mail, along with a bunch of spare parts. Bought them off a member on this forum who's getting out of the hobby. Was too good of a deal to pass up =)

    When's the next battle? Are they typically held on Sundays??

    This thread has been up for a while but we are hosting a build day on November 15th in Snohomish. Bring what you have done and we can help move your project along.
