Very nice indeed.
Looking forward to any updates as and when.
Have fun with your build.

This one looks fun Will, nice to see how it comes along.

You mentioned that the photo in your early post was ‘Tim’s’ build. Is that Tim Brown? He and I were in constant communication about Chris Crafts until my legs quit on me, and while I was in the hospital, my phone got cleaned out of email addresses.

Yes that is Tim. He posted his build on RC Groups. I am as well.

I have his email...

Hi BW,
Rich at Mack Products is my go-to for propulsion.
Good pricing, very knowledgeable.

PS I was wondering what the heck is 'famowood'.
So I Googled it. Turns out it's all sorts (not liquorice! Warning for Bassetts fans😋) of useful stuff.

jbkiwi.... I get it. I guess that's why they lost the bulbous bow. Pain to repair at the yard as well I assume. And then of course came the anchor windless with the bow roller. That would be banging in to the bow all the time pulling her up.

Hi Brightwork,

Tricky shape to replicate. 👍

Cheers,
Stephen.
