Thanks for all your comments, I used the plans and instructions but they are not great, if you want to buy the kit it is :-
Penart Venician passenger Motorboat
(Vaporetto Veniziano)
From a lot of suppliers at around £260 for the kit not including motor, servo and figures

Thanks for your reply, will look into the suggested sites, I use 11.1 lipo batteries on my Tamar Lifeboat with 850 brushed motors, I was a little worried about the weight with the Brede Lifeboat
Thanks once again

I have just started to build a Brede lifeboat and looking for information to power the boat, looking towards brushless motors with 11.1 lipo's, can anyone advise what size of motors I would need, it is a 1/12 scale

Thank you for your nice comments, my dad also served on the colony class cruiser, (HMS Gambia) in 1952/1954, he was commisioned to Malta and we had a wonderfull time there, during that time the ship was cock of the fleet just beating HMS Bermuda !
Thanks once again
