[X(] I got it yesterday, to tell the truth it seems a little overwelming. This may take a little while to build. I don't have a lot of experience with boats.

Should I start by installing the engines and running gear? Then build around it, I'm a little worried that my big hands won't be nimble enough, once the decking is in place. The plans do show a scale for a 3rd rudder so for scales sake I'm going to install it.

If I use three 12v motors, how long can I expect the batteries to run before they run down?

Any help matters thanks,

Mike
