    Planning on coming as this is the nearest event to me (that I know of) I still have a lot of research to do. You guys play by IRCWCC rules here so fast gun only? Want to make sure I'm looking at the right boat to buy. Considering a Strike Northampton as of now.

    Glad to have you!!
    We are IRCWCC, fast gun. (there are very few big gun battlers)
    Northampton is a great American Cruiser and a good choice for a first boat.
    I battled a Brooklyn and loved it.
    If you want to e-mail me personally kgaigalas@charter.net

    Good deal. I bought a used big gun Japanese ship back in '06 (can't remember what it was) and never did use it. Gave it to a friend and have no idea where it ended up. Will be cool to finally commit to battling something. Is it likely there will be any used boats for sale or vendors present?

    Already hunted down. Guess it died in a fire a few years back. To be fair if I still owned it, it would have met the same fate in my garage fire. He's no help as he can't remember what it was either.

    Pigeon eggs prefer this rich midwest black gold.

    Ha! Probably best.

    Think I changed my mind on the Northampton. Bout to place an order for a Lutzow right now. No way in hell I'll have it done in time but maybe I'll get it to a point where I'm stumped and use your fine modeler's brainpowers.

    Doesn't seem to be any offerings at the moment.

    I'd also be willing to "rent" a boat if someone has a spare they'd be willing to let me use in exchange for some financial compensation.
