There just something about a model boat that is going to be four foot long or there about.<\/p>\n<p>I especially like the idea that I am going to be doing a lot of engineering and special construction for this project. Everything from the control system to the smallest hardware detail will be under my decision on how it will be made.<\/p>\n<p>I also see a lot of fun in operating the boat once it becomes water worthy. I would really like to find some locals in North Texas who have the same interest. I am not looking for help but rather kindred souls who also build and operate large scale boats.<\/p>\n<p>Another scheme I am harboring (pun intended) is to look for opportunities for products I can offer in my web store. I am thinking various components for large scale model boats that perhaps I make in my machine shop. I am thinking drive shafts, fittings, maybe even cast parts (from pewter) for ships fittings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh boy\u2026 I am in big trouble now.
