- Changing The Crystal Or Frequency In A Radio Controlled Boat
By: John G. Kelly | - When I started out in radio controlled boats I went electric as it was easy and I learned a lot about how to control the boat without smashing it into the shore or other boats (although some of that happened anyway).
When I ended up on really crowded ponds with lots of other people it was very frustrating to find that there were other radio controlled boats with the same frequency as mine and it meant a very frustrating afternoon. Many of the beginner electric boats did not allow ...

- Building Your Own Model Boat
By: Victor Epand | - I've looked through numerous catalogs, consulted a friend that runs a hobby shop and so far have come up empty.

The fist problem I can see is that power boat models tend to stop at the wrong moment just when they are out of ...

- How To Paint A Wooden Boat
By: terryb | - One of the great increasing mysteries of today's modern boatbuilding is the amount of hi-tech gobble-de-gook that the average home boat builder is expected to wade through when the time comes to paint the boat after the horrendous amount of sanding, fairing and hard work is (mostly) over and the fruits of your labour now require a shiny deep lustre that the painting now promises to bring. This part, to my mind at least, is one of the best parts of boatbuilding, the finish! (Well, at least t ...

- Family Fun: Teach Your Kids To Ski Behind Your Boat
By: Craig Stanford | - Another crash, more tears; we've all seen people trying vailiantly to teach their kids how to waterski. They crash and burn everytime they try to stand up. Meanwhile the parents in the boat get more and more frustrated.

- College Football And Catfish!
By: Bob Alexander | - College football is only a few weeks away and I'm having a hard time waiting for the opening kick-off! My enthusiasm for this time of year is twofold; I start thinking about river fishing and listening to the University of Alabama play football on Saturday afternoons.

- Boat Plans Are Essential Before You Start Building Your Boat
By: Peter Bassett | - When I was a kid, I used to talk to my dad about building boats. Every winter, we would decide that we would get boat plans during the summer and build something, and every summer we would forget about it. Part of it had to do with me, I will admit. I was a kid, and my attention was pretty flighty. For the most part, I enjoyed spending time with my friends more than with my father. Nevertheless, even if I had been there every day, I doubt we would have been able to put our wooden boat building ...

- I Hate Bass Fishing!
By: Bob Alexander | - Given the choice of choosing between bass fishing and watching old game show reruns on TV, I'm afraid I would have to select the latter as my entertainment for the week! My tastes in angling run toward those species that are more eager to be caught
than the wily bass. I like to dangle my bait in the water and let a hungry fish drift by and grab it; nothing much more energetic than that!
Before you can do anything about bass fishing, you have to have a boat. This type ...
