Thank you all for your replies.
Enclosed you should find some pictures of my radio controled boat. It's a Riva Ariston from 1967. It took me approximatly 600 hours to build it.
Hope you will appreciate.

Absolutely Stunning. What a beautiful piece of work! How big is it?
I went to the Geneva boat show in 1980 and I saw several of these beautiful boats built in Italy. Here in the US they are mostly older vintage and used on the fresh water lakes.
Thank you for the pictures.
