Jim,

The cost of a RC boat similar to the one pictured can run upto $3000 for JUST the hull and keel. http://stores.rcsailboatparts.com/mx...hull-and-deck/

Are you kidding me :o

And I have a mold in my garage for the hull :o

Get me two and send the bill to Neal :03:

Bit of background for this one -

Depends on the class and the materials. Most classes are one design (a single hull outline and material is prescribed in the rules), but there are some Open classes, where the hull is only limited to dimensions and sail area. Those are the expensive ones. Each year the national/world Champion's hull is now "the one to have", so thats the expensive one each year, usually molded from carbon fiber and other exotics.

About like an American 12-year-old doing the weather on the local news I guess. :03:
