You either have to build one yourself, orbuy one from somebody else who's built or bought one from somebody else. You're not going to find one of these ships at your local hobby store. Oh, and the combat ships could lsink too which is why we use shallow areas so we can get them back! Simply dry and patch it up and it's ready for the next sortie! The ships get pieces shot off in the process and holes in the hulls. The convoy ship's escorts try to protect it. The enemy tries to stop them by shooting off the cargo or sinking the ship.
How could it get better? We even have convoy ships that need to sail around a course and deliver cargo to their home ports. And yes, these ships maneuver and fire the guns with radio control equipment. These ships have CO2-powered guns, shooting ammo that ranges in caliber from BBs to 1/4" diameter steel balls. It's just that we're all much bigger boys now, and we're a bit more sophisticated about it. I guess his mom (my Dad's ex-wife) threw a fit when she saw pictures in Powerboat Magazine.If you were the kind of kid who, at some point in your youth, placed a lit firecracker into a plastic model ship just to watch it blow up in the water, then you already know what this is about. He swallowed a lot of salt water, but they won the race. My half-brother, riding co-pilot with my dad, layed out on the foredeck with my father holding a leg in one hand, and locked his wrists under the point of the bow. Complete wood restoration by Harlan Orrin. After, Art then built the Wood Patterson Limon Crate in 1969. The deck later began to de-laminate during a race out to Catalina Island and back (26 miles of open ocean each way) and started to open at the bow like a big alligator mouth, scooping air and water, and making the boat nearly flip at least once. It sat untill 1967, when Art Fields and Bob Guffins rigged it.
The next year, the manufacturer came out with a lower-profile "West coast style" model.
He took so much crap for the tall gunwales ("Hey? Why are you racing a FISHING BOAT?") that they cut the sides down to half the original height and glassed on an entirely new deck.
