Information about this boat is really sparce.
I was successful at being the winning bidder, and am now the proud owner.
It has "old school" electronics, which I will upgarse ASAP.
I'm looking forward to getting it wet to see how it performs.

Hard to find information on this boat. It is from Bandit Boats in British Columbia. Not sure if this is the original kit configuration or if it is modified.

📝 Edina Model Yacht Club "Parade of Boats" 2025

On Sunday, June 8, our club had it's annual Parade of Boats event. This is our biggest event of the year, and this year it was very well presented and received. We had over 120 boats on display in the pavilion and on the water. The weather was perfect, and there was a great crowd of spectators. All day long, there was a line of youth waiting their turn to "drive" one of our Vac-U-Tug Boats using the custom consoles built by one of our club members.

Does anybody have any idea why I cannot post a .jpg? I've never had this problem before. I tried yesterday, and again today.
I just made a new post, and was able to load pictures without a problem there. I don't understand why it doesn't work here.

I'm not sure if it helps.
But ... I have this saved picture of a Sea Queen.
I don't remember where I stole it from, but it's a nice presentation of one.

Does anybody know anything about this company?
I stumbled across a Fire Tug for sale locally.
It has a fibreglass hull, and I can see "Bandit Boats" and part of the phone number with area code 250.
Not a fancy boat, but unique.
Anybody have any knowledge? How many different models did they create? When were they in business?
I'm gonna make an offer on it, just because .....
Thanks for any help you can give!

The detail you achieve is truly amazing.
You don't need to make excuses for the speed at which you achieve the results.
The results speak for themselves.

Is it just me, or has the formatting of the emails gone totally wonky?
It looks like each paragraph has several tabs added from the one above it.
The text walks to the right on the page, and eventually is off the page entirely.
I have not changed any email settings, and other email are not suffering this malady.
Any thoughts?

That gives me an idea for a "side hustle" here on my lake.
Problem is.... I'd probably eat up all the profits ....

Ronald,
The seller's family lived in England for a number of years. I'm not sure if it was Military or work that brought them there.
The boat was purchased during that time and made the pilgrimage to the States when the family moved back.
They also have a "new in the box" John Hemmens - "Lady Jane" kit that they have for sale. Their father had a "new in the box" Monahan "Heron" vertical steam plant to go with it, but they sold that in November of last year.

It doesn't matter anymore. The boats were posted on our club Facebook Group, as an offer to members of the club.
I contacted the person who posted them, and told him I would grab them for the club.
Before I could get there, somebody else NOT ever in our club (I have records back to 2010) showed up and told the guy he was from the club and was there to get the boats. 🙄
He got them all. The club got nothing.😠
Dave
PS thanks to those who offered help identifying.

Today, I was contacted by a gentleman who wants to donate 4 boats from his father's estate to our club.
He knows pretty much nothing about them, and flew in to Minnesota for the weekend, so needs these picked up today.
He didn't post pictures of a couple, but did post these. He claims it is about 4 feet long.
To me, it looks in many ways like a Graupner Bugsier 3. But I think the Graupner model was only 3 feet or so.
Can anybody recognize this boat? Is it a scratch build upsized Bugsier?
I plan to pick up the boats he is offering our club tomorrow.
Thanks for any help.

Today was REALLY easy.
I've stood on the memorial, in the harbor.
My uncle was on one of the sunken ships, and survived.
If I missed that question, I believe I'd be disowned by my extended family.

Alessandro and Doug,
First, Doug, score one for you .... 🤣. Yes the QOD is addicting, and it got me.
Second, Alessandro, I'm sorry if my return and going back "post daily" answers are upsetting. It is not my intention to "cheat" by using information from discussions about the questions to better my score. Sure, I like doing well, but there are easier ways to cheat (Google). I tried to answer the previous questions from my own knowledge, best guesses, and admittedly lucky guesses. I apologize if this seems inappropriate.

Doug,
De-Blurring never occurred to me.
But, now that you mentioned it, I applied a little simple magic and VOILA, there it is. 😁
Not that it matters much, as I am a lot more stress-free, avoiding the AI daily questions altogether.
It will be nice sometimes to read the discussions and to understand the topic of the numerous daily emails (that I couldn't read before). Thanks for the hint.

I agree, panfish (i.e. sunfish and crappies) are the best eating fish. I prefer them over the popular walleye any day.

Alessandro, they look awesome.
As far as tape goes, I'm not sure what the availability of 3M tape is in Italy .... but they make a tape called "Fine Line" masking tape, which is designed specifically for taping curved edges and leaving a clean edge.
3M is, of course, readily available here in the States (and 3M headquarters are in Minnesota!!). If you have access to it, I would suggest giving it a try.
