  Perhaps you prefer racing action, and lots of cheering and applause from the crowd.
Select a radio control racing boat.
There's a large selection in the racing boat category so take your time in deciding which one is right for you.
  Get together with other racing enthusiasts, set up race events, and let the neighbors know.
You're sure to draw a crowd, even if it's only the neighborhood kids looking for the excitement of fast boats and competition.
  If you're really into racing build a small pond large enough to stage your racing events.
Make it large enough to race 4 or more boats at a time.
Lay out an obstacle course for skilled maneuver competitions.
  Before you start digging for your pond, make sure it doesn't violate any local laws.
  How about a city harbor scene? Build a city at the edge of your pond, complete with docks.
Use a variety of remote control boats to make a lifelike working harbor with tug boats, sailing and motorized yachts, racing boats, a police boat and a firefighter boat, fishing boats, and a Coast Guard Cutter.
  Collect a fleet of military ships, and go to war on the high seas.
Send your aircraft carrier on a mission with a group of destroyers and a guided missile cruiser to protect it.
Send in the enemy gunboats and submarines to sink the carrier.
  Like underwater exploration? Pick out a submarine from the submersible selection.
You'll need clear water to enjoy this part of the radio control hobby.
Put a sub in a muddy river, and you'll lose it quick.
