So, has anyone found any good models of wakeboard boats? Like Diecast or something like that? Even Lego would be cool.

All I have is a little Matchbox. But I need more...

I did buy the r/c wakeboard boat for my son. but it's a little big to display on my toy shelf at work...

Well, I have thought of giving the Star Wars bobble heads to my son to use in his Star Wars themed room... That would clear out a lot of space.

The toy shelves at work:

I could get the R/C Wakeboard boat from Target. it's only $30... it's good sized though, 1/18th scale.

Thinking that the rockstar would be cool...

But I do like the blue on the LF boat...

I also have to make room for my Lego Y-Wing that I just built with my son. That needs to come into work. hehe.

I like the two options from Target, wonder how well they would actually work? Been looking for one while anchored in the middle of the lake swimming.

I feel kinda guilty. I bought my son the RC G23 boat and I kept forgetting to bring it out when we went on the boat, so we've never even used it!!!

The Rockstar one should come with some little Rockstar barbies.

They could model them after these (gratuitous link) ;) :

I always try to find a model of my toys and vehicles and the best place to look is ebay. If there is something out there it will show up and then you have a model number to search elsewhere.

We have that same G23! Not much power, but works great for shutting drinks/snacks from the boat to the shore.

I found these a while back ( 1:64 scale ) and ended up painting one to match my boat. Here is a shot of the Christmas Theme last year. Yes - my wife and I agree I need help! Swerve on!

These are 1:64 ERTL Sportsman Models. I find them on eBay every once in a while. Usually they run about $ 30 I've only been able to find Mastercraft and Malibu - don't think they make any others.

I have two Ski Nautique RC boats they originally were on stands . I have now made trailers for both . I was told the red one was used to tow Twiggy the waterskiing squirrel ?

Those are AWESOME! I'd like to find one of those.
I remember seeing that crazy squirrel a few years back but haven't seen him at the Raleigh or Winston Salem Boat shows lately. Good looking trailers!

SupraHunter you sir are a stud. Those are super cool. So now I gotta ask - how did you build the trailers? Aluminum?
