The Atlas Van Lines kit I have is for the 1/8th scale boat, built one several years ago for a friend
was a very heavy boat, but the Picco 67 seemed to push it pretty good, but not up to competition
standards, fellow eventually put an 80 in it to go have fun and play with, the kit I have was a "Thank
You Gift" for building the boat, it has been up on a shelf in the top of my shop for several years. I will
be putting this one a diet to shed some of the weight that the first one had, but at the same time I will
be adding blue foam for floatation.
