Default My Dumas 36" runabout build thread

O.K. Today I drove 115 miles to south Florida, went to RC Hobbies, came back with a Dumas 36" Runabout kit, as I wanted to see a build on this boat, but could not find one, I will start one now. The first thing I wanted to do was upgrade the stuffing tube, but the one that came with the kit had bearings, an oil tube, and was made for a 3/16" shaft, all those were things I wanted, but did not think would come with the kit, so my first impression was a good one. The wood also looked good, I have built two Dumas Trojans, two Dumas PT boats, 33" and 48", three Dumas Shelly Fosses, two Dumas Crocketts, one Dumas Triple, one Dumas Cobra, One Dumas Tuna Clipper, two total scratch builds, just from paper plans, and one Billings African Queen. I will try to keep everyone posted.
