I feel your pain.
I need to regulate my Facebook Marketplace visits.
I, too, have bought boats I didn't intend to off FB.

Beautiful boat!!
I love the detail on the accessories. Did you build the lobster traps?
Where did you find the fisherman figures?

The local Fox TV channel contacted us and told us they'd like to do a short feature on us.
The time allotted was short, but I think we did a nice job representing our hobby.
Hopefully this may create more interest in the local community!
Here are links to the 3 segments they aired:

Len,
Unfortunately, not only do you find stuff you haven't been able to find for years.
You also uncover projects started and abandoned for years .... 🤔
I started cleaning mine last week, and had to stop so I could work on re-discovered ventures.
Maybe 🙈🙉🙊isn't such a bad plan, LOL

Hi all,
Here is my "Multi Purpose" workshop.
Havta share the space for home, auto, and landscape projects as well as models.
Trev, please don't kill me .... my wife still wouldn't let you have it (I think).

PS The beer fridge is in the utility room at the back end of the workshop ....
PPS YES, I know it's messy. But it works for me.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice the question by flaxbyduuck, when originally posted. The nearest "International Airport" would be Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP). There is a decent Regional Airport in Brainerd MN which is about 20-30 minutes by car from the event, or it is a little over a 2hr drive by car from MSP.
It is a beautiful area, and quite an event!

The correct answer is not one of the choices. The sheer is the point where the hull meets the deck. Tumblehome is the name for the curvature at the sheer. Rocker refers to the amount of curvature in the bottom of the hull along its length from bow to stern at the Keel. So, either Rocker or Tumblehome could be considered correct. I chose Keel, because it is the closest choice of the options given.

Ron,
You were a short 7 hr drive north of me, when in Thunder Bay (I am about 40 miles west of the Andover Club shown on kiwi's map). I agree it is a beautiful area up there. Will you be following the lakes on your return trip? We have done that drive, it is spectacular!

Kind of awkward wording on that question. In any normal conversation regarding the right and left side of a car/truck/boat/plane, it is assumed you are facing forward from the interior of the vehicle. To ask what is the left side called facing backward in the vehicle kinda made smoke roll outta my ears as I processed the reverse thinking. The answer is correct for the way the question is worded, and I did get it correct ... but VERY sneaky wording on the question!

📝 Are Motorized RC Scale Model Boats Hazardous?

Lew,
Our club works closely with the park management regarding the usage of the pond.
Last year we did have a couple incidents where a fast electric boat struck and damaged and/or sank one of our scale boats.
We decided to be proactive and approached the park manager to establish rules for pond use.
The park management while they liked the idea, didn't want to take on added responsibility for policing or enforcing park rules.
We came up with the following rules, the park had this sandwich board sign made (at our club's expense), and we have access to it in the park maintenance building whenever we are using the pond.
We kept the rules as simple as possible, and agreed to help remind other users of the rules.
So far, this co-relationship with the city park management has worked well.
Wishing you the best of luck in your efforts.

Nick,
I believe the reason it is the Langley is because it was the first ship that a plane took off AND landed on.
Previous ships allowed a seaplane to take off, but the plane had to land in the ocean and be fished out.
At least that is how I understood the question.
I can understand how "recover" could be interpreted to include snatching them from a sea landing.

A lady about 30 miles away is downsizing in preparation for a move to senior housing.
She told me her husband built this back in the late 60's when they were living in the San Francisco area.
She believes it was scratch-built, but I think it may have been (a very nice) kit. Does anybody have an opinion?
When he built it, he modeled it after one that was stationed in San Francisco at the time.
He passed away 15 years ago, and this boat has been sitting in its storage box in her garage ever since.
The batteries are labeled "good" and are dated 1991.
My first thought was to rip out all the vintage electronics and update it. But the more I think about it, it would be fun to see if these vintage parts can be resurrected. Thoughts?

But this one was only miles away from me, has never been in the water, and if I didn't buy it he was going to give it to his grandson to play with.
I couldn't say no.

I had to read the question and answers a couple times, to make sure it wasn't some sort of trick question.
In the end, somehow, I managed to select the correct answer!
