    I originally joined the site after I acquired a 34" model Fireboat. 😊 I was not new to modelling but required the detailed information to restore my model. I learnt so much about Fireboats and even the best motors, props, ESC and battery to use. The help freely given by Fireboat members encouraged me to share some of my own knowledge via the Forums and Blogs. 😉 The recent name change has opened the site to all modellers and I look forward to sharing model boat knowledge with an even wider audience.
    Stephen (Fireboat) is to be congratulated in hosting such a brilliant site 😀

    I found this website when trying to help my father in law with his models. Now unfortunately he has passed away. But the boats live on with me, and thanks to advice from the members of this fantastic site. I thank you all, and look forward to building and restoring many more boats.

    Hi, I have a 34inch Fire Tender, bought second hand in 1979.Originally I/c (signs of original fit),electric is the only way to go! I have new brass prop,shaft - in fact all the running gear and am ready to plan installation. Discovering this site is a real boon! Am in Loughborough so Watermead Park is ideal!

    Terrific site, how many members have gained valuable info and been able to pass on info, the site has no doubt boosted the Fireboat Funday, and even gained scorn from a Colonial who I refuse to name that due to the success of F.F.D and this site the s/h price of Fireboats has rocketed and guess who has been blamed ? but Lyle (oops!) still remains a good mate and its good he is 10,500 miles away.
    Cheers to all, Pete D.
