This forum is now ended. Come see us on our Facebook page Bishop Aeromarine.

As this forum has been derailed and destroyed by negative, abusive comments and such action is condoned by the administration of International Waters​ this is my last post and I consider this forum ended! Testing on the boats starts this weekend. To contact me or for test results email me at...

Hey Ken, what class was the real boat running? Was it an unlimited or what? Reason I am asking is, I wonder what type motor the real boat had in it, a V-12 or V-8? Joe

To all the Guys that have followed and enjoyed reading this forum, I apologize for ever indulging the people that post on forums with the sole purpose of being negative and disruptive. I will not respond to any such posts again. I am seriously thinking of shutting this forum down because it...

You are one pathetic old man! I have ask you not to post on this forum as you only have stupidity to offer but you are to ignorant to realize when you are not wanted so I have reported you. I'll let the moderator deal with you!

Hey Andy, maybe you didn't read a later post of mine but I recanted my number 2 statement. I did build a few kits of the TRIKE. After 35 years, I had just forgot about doing it, LOL! After thinking about it, I remembered all the guys that were ragging me to build some kits of TRIKE so I built...

Obviously you don't like this forum so don't read it! Go elsewhere! It is one of the largest forums on International waters because there is a lot of people that do like reading it. I will test my boats when I am ready and no amount of trolling from you will change that! Less than 100 boats...

Thanks Tim!

Hi Ty I am building on them right now. I am building two Ultra boats, one Elite boat and one GOBLIN FE-P (electric) boat. All .21 size boats. Two will go to England and two to Tennessee for testing. Joe
