    Thank you so much for that photo. Here was me thinking it was going to be a soldering iron job and circuit boards. That doesn't look too complicated,

    Scott,
    Here is a pic of the "business end" of our consoles.
    It was made by one of our VERY talented club members.
    Dave
    So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

    Hi Dave

    Do you have any photos of the the insides of the big wheel and throttle setup. I'd love to make similar for our club. Love seeing how event's are done on the other side of the world. Some very nice vessels too,

    Regards

    I understand that the space is quite crowded, which is precisely why I would greatly appreciate seeing your setup.

    Chugalone,
    After the boat show is over on Sunday and I have the boat back home, I will grab some pictures for you.
    It is a little crowded inside ....

    Quite an impressive collection, Brinkman.

    When you have the opportunity, would it be possible for you to share how you arranged the electronics on your Midwest Fireboat? I have completed the painting of mine, but I am currently uncertain about the best approach for the electronics installation.

    Any guidance you could offer, along with photographs of your setup if available, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
