There is an average of 20-25 in my shop shelfs at any given time. I move them on after the dust get 1/4" thick. LOL Pretty sure they wont be used again at that point.

That's amazing Mike for me if I was going to retire a boat I think I would give it to a young kid or new member to promote r/c boating while it still had a chance to be competitive or else my kids would find them some day and just throw them in the junk im sure

Jeff the season hasn't started for me as yet its a tough 8 to 10 races and it might come out of retirement ....i feel riggers are little tough for a new boaters and this particular boat was beat up and raced hard the last 2 yrs....i dont want to be labeled that guy that sells junk...while i dont make junk. If i need it i know where it is.

I hear you water hard here although my 40 Betke hydro is one of my easiest boats to drive take care Jeff Barnes
