Model Boat Mayhem is a great resource for model boat builders. The site has a bunch of good info, pictures, advice and more.

There is an active forum for builders with loads of tips and help. People on the forum are helpful and civil from what I can see.

Here are some other boat building resources from Make: Online:

• At Maker Faire Austin this past year I met up with Jerry from the North Texas Battle Group.
• Speed control circuit for radio controlled boats by Phillip
• Mini hybrid electric engines from the forums
• Model yacht plans (and construction photos) The plans are 404, sorry

Where do you get your info about building projects? Who helps you learn techniques? Post up your ideas in the comments and bring on your photos and video to the MAKE Flickr pool.
