“JULY 2012 BOAT OF THE MONTH”
Maritime Modelers is proud to announce
this month’s selection for “Boat of the
month”.
This month’s honor goes to our member
Jim Shultz for this imaginative, and creative
design of the “Scrat Boat”.
Last month or so, a mistake was made that
the owner of this boat was Mark
Weitzman”. When the actual owner was
Jim Shultz.

MARITIME MODELERS JULY 2012 “BOAT OF THE
MONTH” CONTINUED
For those of you that do not watch too many cartoons. “Scrat” is the little sabre toothed squirrel that is always
trying to collect nuts, sometimes through great bodily harm to himself and others in the animated movies “Ice
Age”. The next animated cartoon in the series is to be released on the 13th of this month. Go see it. It will put
a smile on your face.
Shortly after these digital images (Pictured Below) were shot, Bob Tiscareno made Jim an offer to purchase
this boat from him. As and you can see by the side by side digital images there were plenty of additions
upgrades that were made to the boat.
Those additions were: A fresh paint job, navigation lights, bollards front and rear, real glass windows, bumper
rails, new push bars, ice and snow, a coffee cup made from a tooth-paste cap that was filled with brown paint to
simulate fresh coffee a plastic strip to simulate a straw, a fire-extinguisher, two giant life rings, one exhaust pipe,
and two donuts, one partially eaten modeled from model clay, and painted. “Sorry” no sprinkles, extra large
exhaust pipe, and finally sound effects of “Scrat Noises and Sounds,”.
Although the Boat now belongs to Bob Tiscareno, Jim deserves every bit of all the credit for coming up with
the great theme for this project. I always enjoy seeing what else Jim can come up with. His boats are always a
lot of fun to watch, drive, and photograph. I for one cannot wait to see what else his imagination can come up
with.
BEFORE
AFTER
Pictured Above Left; is the boat “Nuts To Tow”, when it was owned by member Jim Shultz, notice the
character “Scrat” at the helm (White Arrow). Pictured Above Right; is the same boat, after Bob Tiscareno
took ownership of the vessel. You can see many of the extensive modifications that were made to it after the
owner transition. The newly remodeled boat will make it’s debut at the first meeting this month.
Congratulations Jim…..Keep up the good work!

A MESSAGE FROM THE
BRIDGE
By: Captain Bob Tiscareno
Hello Everyone,
I hope that all of you are doing well and having a
terrific time during this start of summer time.
We have had great participation at our meetings,
and it looks like we are getting at least 1-2 new
members per month because of the web-site.
To those individuals who have joined our club,
we welcome you with open arms, and hope to see
you again, and again.
Excuse me for a second, I need to go check out something. I’m back! I needed to go to my computer, and see
when the next regatta is scheduled for “The Inland Nautical Society”.
To those of you that are new to this hobby, or have never been to a model boat regatta, you don’t know what
you have been missing. Read more about the upcoming regatta that you will see in this issue of the newsletter.
Last month, we held our 4rd or maybe 4th annual “BBG N BOATIN”. As always we had a great turn out of
members, and even had some potential members. The food was great, but the friendship of our people was
better than anything else.
Please check with Ron De Simone or Robert Tiscareno to see when your dues are due to expire. Some people
(ONE PERSON) thinks that he gets nothing for his money, and hasn’t paid dues in over four years, but still this
person comes to our activities. What the dues are used for are the running expenses of the newsletter, web-site,
and activities.
Well, I think that’s enough for now! See you at the lake.
Respectfully Yours…..Captain Robert (Bob) Tiscareno NEWSLETTER CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE, SO GO
GET A CUP OF COFFEE, OR SODA!!!!!

MARITIME MODELERS
DVD’S ARE YES! STILL AVAILABLE FOR ONLY $15!
There are only seven of these professionally made DVD’S left. I ordered twenty of them and Frank Milowicki
and myself (Bob) have sold thirteen of them so far.
I needed to pay for these in advance. As it says these are available for $15 each. It cost me $160.00 to order
these, so in order for me to recoup my money, I must sell eleven of them. All other sales after that, all of the
money collected after the eleven will go to the club’s treasury. That should be approximately $135.00
Please see (Bob Tiscareno) at the meeting’s to get your copy of this DVD, and help support your club. We
appreciate your support.

Pictured Above Left, Center, and Right; are a series of shots of new member Agnelo’s speedboat. This thing
is really fast. So fast that it caught the eye of Bob Tiscareno who thinks his boat will beat Agnelo’s.
The race will be held between the two water spouts that shoot up at the north and south points of the lake. Each
boat will need to complete two laps, and the first to cross the finish line wins. Got to get some kind of plaque or
trophy for this event,
