Yep If you look at one of the stern shots of the Harbor Light where the nets are hanging at the top of the stern boom You will see it hanging slack hooked to a turnbuckle it goes from there to the end of the outrigger

I just wanted to chime in, I know nothing about shrimp boats or rc boats. Only found this thread because of it being on RCU homepage. But this build and your boats are freaking awesome!! Very cool to see - definitely going to follow this one. Some great modeling going on here. Keep going, can't wait to see the final product.

I do want to add lights to be able to run it at night.

Here is another short video conducting a float test with the battery on the deck.

Nice video Wayne. Only one boom to go plus the nets.

Thanks Bob
I still have to take everything apart and paint the rigging. And I still have a couple more pieces of tubing to solder on.

RE: Scratch Built Shrimp Boat.
Im so ready to get started Its called decked over when the deck and hull meet and form a cap and the frame comes a little higher than the deck and attach the bulwarks and cut supper hole so when water gets on the deck it just runs off and doesnt drain to the innerbottom.It may work idont know it will be trial and erorr lol.im going to try my best to get it as close to our family boat as possible that hull desgn wayne has is the closest i have seen to it Im going offshore in bout a week for a month so it will have to wait til i get back then i will have 2 weeks of free time to get it done
