Leading Edge Hobbies - R/C Sailboats and Powerboats  
 
POWERBOATS
Leading Edge Hobbies offers the model power boater a wide selection of R/C Powerboats and an extensive array of parts.  R/C Powerboats has definitely grown in the local area with the emergence of a new club.  The powerboats have tended to take a backseat to the immensely popular Kingston model sailing club but we are starting to see power starting to sell.

In kits, are main boats are manufactured by Kyosho.  They offer an excellent selection of electric and nitro boats mainly in the novice to intermediate level.  Generally, Kyosho kits are made of molded plastic to reduce cost for the consumer as well as giving them sleek and inviting looks.  They tend to work very well, giving the customer "little-hassle" on water fun.

Dumas has been a mainstay in the R/C powerboat (and sailboat) market for many years.  We carry many the full line of their kits.  Since the release of their Chris-Craft line a few years ago that has been our hottest seller.

 We have recently introduced the Enforcer line of boats, distributed by Warehouse Hobbies.  Offering everything from the sleek electric "boat-in-a-bag" Force 22 to the imposing gasoline powered Enforcer Gator and Sport these kits are not for the faint of heart.  When Nascar favorite Jeff Gordon gives them the thumbs up, you know they are good!
