Need help finding...
 
I am trying to improve the look of our son’s room without going the sports and music poster route. Something we all can be happy with. I am looking for and not having any luck finding, posters and or photos of catamarans, V-hull, off shore race boats, cool engines etc. Things they both will like. Water/lake themed. Even an old prop or two would be fun. Any ideas of where I can look? (Nothing too costly, after all this is a camp.)
They are reasonably happy with the collages I put together reusing frames from unwanted pictures. . (The Red Neck Express, Amphibious RV, Hovercraft and Hover Car, but I don’t want to do the whole room with this.)
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bizer knows where you can get the remains of a few outdrives. The pictures showed them in shallow water on the rocks. ! :rolleye1:

Here's a couple of places to try:

Freeze Frame Video

APBA Photo Gallery

wallpaper magazine clip
 
take one wall and fill it with cutouts from boat magazines, pictures of the lake, water skiing, PWC pics..... it'll take a lot of pictures (reason for only one wall). then use wall paper paste and put them up in a collage. i've seen it done before . you can spend all day finding new pictures on their walls.

Ebay
 
Another option is Ebay, (if you are web-inclined and patient).
A quick search for propeller turned up several $1.00 used boat props. Be careful: shipping will cost you.
There are also oodles of posters for sale. You may be able to find something cheap and with the subject matter you desire.

Try Allposters.com
I have purchased several posters/prints from them.

Thank you
 
Thanks to all for the good advise. There just are not any inexpensive muscle boat or catamaran posters out there. Plenty of other sports covered though. (Freeze Frame had great stuff, just more than I wanted to spend.) Maybe I will contact the manufacturers directly and see what they can do. I will keep my eyes open for an inexpensive prop too. (Of course the ones I like on E-bay are pricey!) I personally liked the small cutouts idea. It got vetoed. :( My son just told me not to worry about finding anything, so I will take my time and look around. Something will turn up eventually. Thanks again!

Rattlesnake Gal, have you tried any of the dealers or manufacturers for promo posters?
