My Grandfather passed away some years ago and he built hundreds of RC planes and he always had this unfinished boat. I have had it for a few years and attempted to work on it and then stopped because not sure of what to do. I have attached pictures of this beast and its around 3 feet long or so and made of wood so its heavy.

I need to figure out how to power it on a lower budget but still have it look scale. Would prefer electric but would be open to gas like a zenoah type engine. I have no hardware or anything so kind of starting from scratch.

Next thing is how do I finish it? Is laying fiberglass down and sanding then applying gel coat a realistic possibility?
