Hay Green-boat,
By the way...how did you manage that handle...?

I received my order from Hobby Lobby, but my bow thruster was damaged. The three gel cell's kind of bounced around a little and broke one tube. I will be e-mailing for a repalcement unit. Now that I have the gel cell's here...I'm not sure I can use them...bummer. But time will tell.

I'm installing the electric motor, gear box, drive shaft and survo now. Then I will know if the gel cell's will fit. They are flat...but larger then I realized. I should have made a template first...you live and learn.

Your bow is different then mine...I've a more nerrow bow...but it could be the picture angle too.

You have a great looking ship...but I would love to get a picture of your inner workings and how you set up your power system. I would also like some close ups of your decking...and equipment. The kit had little shown in the pictures...but I've a ton of picturs I took on board my last ship...if I can find them up in my attic. How does it sail under power...?

Neat boat...and now I am driven to get my ship sea worthy.

Safe port always,
Bobby of Maui
