Classic! My Brother and I ordered our first boat and engine from Tower back in the day!
Thanks for sharing!

I always had that phone number 18006376050 memorized. I used to live out of that book as a kid. Dreaming mostly but I did order a lot of stuff as well. that short stuff was the first boat I built . I think we all stared at that book for hours back then.

I know that exact catalog. Wow. I read / dreamed through that thing every night, back when I was in high school. I had just got into building and flying airplanes. Got a boat a few years later and helped a neighbor build a hot shot 3.5. Thanks for the memories!

Wow that brings back memory's. My first boat was that competition deep vee 21 and it still hanging in the garage, and the second was the Sorcerer I have a new kit in the box that I want to build some day

Tower Hobby was the place to go for anything Hobby oriented back then, then Hobby King came on the scene and pretty much ended Tower's reign of the Hobby industry. No more word from Hobby King like when they came on with heavy advertising. The other problem is the kids of today have no interest in RC anything. Some kids get into the Hobby, but their interest is short lived.
