I'm an airplane builder, but was thinking of building a boat to mess around with when we floatfly, or at times when it's too windy to fly.

What I want is something rather challenging to build, somewhere in the 3 to 4 foot long range, either a tug or something military.

I'd prefer a fiberglass hull or wood planking over ribs, as little plastic as possible (if a tug).

I've looked at the wood version PT-109 (33") and the Carl Moran Tug (would prefer the hull be wood on this one) I want the boat capable of R/C conversion and would build it from the beginning with that in mind. Complexity is not an issue.

Who are the best mfg in terms of quality and detail? Thanks, Ken
