The latest "CAT BOAT"

That is a cool cat!!! Has it ever rocked the boat while try to get at the minnows?

How in the world did you manage to pull this off ???

Cats are inheirently afraid of water.

Nice boat too :D
What are the specs, propulsion?

I've got a 1/50 scale ocean going tug I've been working on for about 6 months now. Tedious, but rewarding work involved. With any luck, I should have it ready to float by the time the water freezes again...[X(]

Some people simply have too much time on their hands!!! But i must admit, that is pretty cool!

RE: The latest "CAT BOAT"
 

Just think what we could come up with if we had MORE time ....:D

that is a scary thought.....[X(]

This cat loves the boats, so much that the wife and I can not ride the paddle boat with out the cat crying to go.
This a hull I started a little over a week ago. Its 62" x 17". Have made up my mind on how many but it will be powered by 12 vote electric motors.
But the bad news is the wife has grounded me, she said I can not buy anymore parts for the boats unless I sell some.

Hey Hal, try this on the wife...

Doesn't the cat have a say in this...

ASPCA, ok I'm lost.
For those that are interested in the building process. Have a lot of pics of the steps.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/1%2F...1835472/tm.htm

Hal....I'm very impressed on your inovations and progress, not to mention the design.

Read through the entire thread.

My scale project, Amsterdam tug, (1/50 scale) is also my first scale boat. I decieded to go with a kit for my first try. A beautiful kit by the way. Still very labor intensive. I counted up over 1000 parts. There are 3 ladders that come to 75 pieces themselves. Been working on and off for about 6 months, but now almost everyday for the past couple weeks. Yea, once you get going it's hard to stop.

Is this representative to the types of boat you use now on the rigs?

aspca is an animal rights org. I really thought people would have gotten the joke...ol well... I want to see a video... I guess cats and water do mix..

RE: The latest "CAT BOAT"
 

Yes this the type of boat that I get to and from the platforms. I once many years ago worked for this company that builds the full size crew boats.
The hull came together quick, but all of the small pieces are taking some time, life rafts and rings tires, all out of wood.
Its gonna be a while before I get to run it, but I will get a vid. when I do.

Hal........

Here is my 'off topic' project that is taking up some of my time. Not the best pics, but you get the idea....

That is looking nice. The next scale I build will be a tug
