AGE

[Ken Webb]

I don't see any central Fla. clubs trying to recruit new members. Maybe that's one reason why there's not many younger members. This I think goes for all clubs. I'm and old man I need help with my toys, since it's been over 20yrs since I've been out.

I'm in Lakeland. Trying to finf out hat's going on with the Brandon club since their closest. Working on a sport 40 now. Almost done, just making some improvements in the radio box.

This is an enlightening thread I bet there would be a totally different demographic on Jims with the Gas guys. I am guessing much younger

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Question, who's the oldest model boater still active. JD ?????..........==={}

I'll be 71 next month and have been designing/building/racing RC boats since 1965. First national boat race was the 1967 IMPBA Internats in San Francisco. Met Gary and Marianne Preusse at that event. Marianne was a wonderful lady and Gary and I remain friends. Just wish Chicago wasn't so far from Washington.

I'll be 78 this month and still enjoy racing the Kids.

I thought you were younger than me Fred. I am 42. LOL

Glad to hear you made it to Florida. I am assuming you won't be at Sunday's meeting.

63 & my joints are talkin' to me - but in my mind? Twenty-somethin'! And, like one of our other members says, a dark, black past is one of my most prized possessions!

Glad to hear that you are still in the hobby, Dave. I bought a LOT of rods from you, mostly for the Fox Combat .36 engines that I reworked. Trust me, NONE of them would have stayed together without one of your connecting rods. Thanks for making some quality rods, carbs and engine mounts for all of us for a lot of years.

I'll be 69 years young in August. Started racing model boats in 1968 through 1973. Then raced cars till 1996. Re-started in boats after my retirement again from 2006. I'd like to still be racing when I hit 80, even if it's model yachts by then

I wish all you 'oldies' good health and happy racing!
