Diecast: Boat Models
Boat models are one of the many types of vehicles that are collected by scale model devotees. Along with diecast cars, trucks, motorcycles and tractors, boats are a very popular collectors item enjoyed by people of various ages and backgrounds. Diecast companies produce many different types of boat models, including speed racing boats, fishing boats and old classic sea fishing vessels.
A strong tie exists between racecar drivers and fishing boats because many NASCAR celebrities, such as Ryan Newman, are also avid recreational fishers. Like many of the 1:24 scale model boats, Ryan Newmans limited-edition Ranger Bass Boat by Action and Castaway includes a scale trailer. Combined with an accurate detailed diecast model of a truck that has a trailer hitch, a complete weekend sports set can be replicated.
Bobby Labontes boat model, from the same series, is finely detailed to include a moving outboard motor, swiveling fisher seats and opening compartments. Colorful character M&Ms are the main feature of the brown and yellow Elliott Sadler Ranger Bass Boat and Trailer model. The replica of Dale Earnhardt, Sr.s commemorative Nitro Boat & Trailer has incredible detail and includes opening fishing wells and rod compartments.
