Hi Guys -

Since Nathan was not real sure about any boats in diecast, I thought I would let you in on a few that I know of! Now, I have only one boat in Diecast, it is made by Action Collectibles, and it is a 1/24th scale Ranger Bass Boat with a Mercury motor, removable seats, trailer etc. I will post pictures asap. Not fortunate enough to have one of the 1/18th scale Top Fuel Hydros in my collection yet, be these bad boys are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Here are a couple of teaser shots for you from ebay:

To see more of these fantastic boats, here is their website:
diecast-badass.com/store/about-drag-boats.html

Sorry bout the name, it ain't me!! HAHA, but they also carry some other great products too - check it out!

Also, Danbury Mint made a fabulous Boston Whaler some years ago - they are commanding some incredible prices these days. Here is another teaser from ebay:

Thanks, and more to come...

They are SUPER DETAILED!! Found them on a drag boat racing website, but they are produced by BADASS DIECAST!! The detailing will blow you away - for instance, the cockpit will come out just as the real one does, and it is held in place by rare earth magnets, as are any of the other panels that come off. The trailer is separate, but worth having. Most of these boats are transported in closed trailers like a pro-stock car. The lightweight trailer is used to move the boat from the pit area to the launch area - most of these boats are placed in the water by a hydraulic crane. Anyway, there sell on the web site at $129.99, but they are worth every dime! I have seen one up close and personal, and lemme tell ya, they ARE BAD ASS for sure!! Check them all out at their website:
www.diecast-badass.com/store/

Lemme know what you think and how many you ordered!

Dave
