How the hell did I not win this boat. 
http://cgi.ebay.com/FANTAIL-LAUNC...418QQcategoryZ19166QQcmdZViewItem
It was at $250 right up to two seconds before closing.
It isn't RC. The mahogany decking is unique and beautiful, but the whole kit doesn't cost much over $169.00 on most websites excluding RC. 
I thought I had this one in the bag. 
Maybe I'll just buy the kit. I have enough mahogany planking left over from the Elliot Bay to achieve the same effect. 
Was hoping to save the time for the big one though

Sniping seems to be the way to go on some auctions, I have a snipe in place for tonight. Wish me luck.

If you buy and make the kit, you can then transfer engines across if funds are tight.
Although I have a Fantail Launch, personnally I would go for the Kick 'Anna', as it is larger and you can go for an engine which will give you forwards and backwards.
