| I used to fly in an Embraer (sp?) twin prop that had stains like that. As we flew we could watch the oil run through every seam in the engine housing. This is an incredible build. |

| My dad was on one of these in the Pacific. is this set up for Radio Control? I would like to take this to where they sail the big sailboat models at central Park. And prepare to ram! Two Pittman Motors? Two motorcycle Batteries? It would look like the Homecoming parade in Animal House! Okay, sleep deprivation is starting to rear it's ugly head! Goodnight all! Sweet dreams of pieces of sailboats, flotsam in the pool! Nine feet long? Theme song from Jaws! |

| Thank you Poppy, She is made of wood and fibre glass built for plans provided ny the floating Drydock scale 1/48 and she weighs about 135 lbs powered with 2 12 volt car battaries, the Electric motor is a blower motor off of a furnace 1.3hp I installed a reduction gear boz to slow down the revoloutions and it draws about 5 amps underway. I,m 71 years old now I cant lift it anymore it just sits in the back room, perhaps i can draft a couplr young kids to help me load it on the boat trailor i can take her out a sail. Thank you Poppy for your reply your builds exceptional to the high degree your Great Lakes special is a work of art Boats |
