Special K I'll get some pics of the swim platform it's made out of some 3/8 quarter round teak trim I got at west marine and through bolted with #40 brass all thead. I also made the radar arch out of 1/4' marine plastic lumber I got at west marine then cut it put it in the oven and formed it. The trailer was pretty easy it's 1' aluminum c channel for the side rails, and 3/4'' square tube for the cross rails and 2 3/4 model plane wheels. aluminum all from home depot.
Those lights are way too big , scale should be about 7/8'' long I found a site i'm getting ready to order a bunch of items including the nav lights, deck cleats and a bunch of other items all real close to scale look and size I''ll let you know when i get them in. their website is www.mackproductsrc.com

I would like to have the same stickers you are making . for my hull i was going for the poker run look . i think now i am goint to put some low pro scoops on the hach .. i did like this from mac .. ( Engine Hatch Stays)

that drive is from the early eighty's there's no difference in the internal workings of it. I do see you're missing 2 things to make it work on your formula hull . when I get home today from work I'll post up some pictures and I did find a link to a similar u joint in the UK that will work

When you get a chance if you find the link to the u- joints i'd appreciate it, no hurry be quite a while till I need one, still got to find another one.if you see any please let me know. any suggestions on motors. ps showed some friends who have followwed the progress on mine the pics of yours after the fall they all just cringed. keep up the good work

I would suggest two K&B 11cc 67 or 82s . you can still find them all day long on eBay and the parts are cheap enough. there is easy to take apart because you're going to have to flip the exhaust to face forward towards the bow and then you route them off to the side. and then you can install some magic mufflers.

I have an amps International hobbies boat on e-bay and have had several people ask me what it would take for me to end the auction early.
I'm not one to end auctions early normally, but I don't know the value of the boat is. Read the add and maybe someone could tell me the value.
Here is the link. Any coments would be helpfull. Thanks Bob

you can never put a real price on AMPS boats . It realy depends on how the market is going and how much it is to ship it in the USA it is a heavy boat, it cost me just in shipping $150.00 from CO, to FL,

so take that in concentration . the cat you have is in nice shape with the stickers . I got my AMPS cat last year for $700.00 . but it has never been in the water . I would just let the auction run and see what happens .. that is just my 2cents ...
