Thanks for accepting me to the forum. I am from the USA and live in one of the northern states called Maine. I purchased my first RC boat when I was 9 years old. I have been racing for the past 15 years. Boats are my passion and I really enjoy scale realistic looking boats. My friend and mentor Rod Geraghty introduced me to the VO-152 boats several years ago and I fell in love with them. I had kneelers and small hydroplanes when I was a kid. The VO-152 boats are beautiful and the detail is amazing. I have a couple of boats now and really enjoy running them at my local pond. I am always looking to expand my collection so if anyone has a boat that they would like to go to a good home please let me know. I really appreciate all the time that goes into making these boats. I take very good care of my boats and still have the first boat I purchased in 1986

Happy Boating,
Zach

A warm welcome, Zach Another guy from the United States
If no one offers a boat, try to build your own 152-racer. We have a simple boat called 'Speedy', have a look at it in the forum.

Welcome to the forum Zach
Pictures or it didn't happen is also a saying.....
We want to see your boats, if i say pliiiiis.
If you decide to make your own boat, SPEEDY for instance, there are a great outboard "cover" or dummy called Archimedes B-22.

Welcome to the 152VO forum from Belgium

My boats are all put away for the winter. I don't have any fancy pics but here they are in the dry dock. HHMMmm, I can't seem to get the picture to upload?

If they are to big they don't fit.
Max size 150k should work.

2nd Try. Worked

Very nice.
A BU-Sidcraft and a Fooling?
What are the Hydro beside the 2 VO-152 boats?
Are they built by Rod?

I acquired Rod's collection this summer.
The Hydro is a Jupiter.

Welcome to this verry excyting little corner of the WWW from Holland! I hope you enjoi it here, and get the inspiration to build some nice wooden RC boats!

Have you also got Rod's collection of outboards? I hade several Skype sessions with Rod a few years ago, helping him to get some 'scientific' data for his prop modifications. Those were verry enjoyable talks!
