Just crossed into Fl yesterday. This going to be a time consuming build especially with all the automation I know you will incorporate. Of course I will follow it. Be sure to incorporate a lot of pics & description of how you automate turrets, etc.
Once we reach Naples I plan to marry the PNW tug to the Taranis X7. Iโm sure I will be seeking your advice & direction. Brought the PNW tug & OUTER LIMITS with me. Gotta have something to play with.๐ ▲

I see the need for a bigger van in your future. What is your projection of time-to-complete? Are you also posting in RCG?

Yes,
The shafts do enter the hull at different distances from the stern. As I explained, the USN used the system of alternating boiler and engine rooms. from bow to stern on Atlanta's, I checked my Bible, Norman Friedman's "U.S. Cruisers An Illustrated Design History" and it went boiler room, engine room, boiler room, engine room. As such the shafts mount at different angles and enter the hull at different distances from the stern. As well the shafts run outboard rather than parallel to the keel. I have taken my measurements directly from her lines and stations plan. This way if I get it wrong, I can blame it on Cox and Gibbs.๐ ▲

Is it my eyes or do the prop shafts enter the hull at different distances from the stern? is it something to do with the narrow hull?

Wow - I struggle to store a 4ft boat - no chance for this size, except with a divorce! Good luck.

A 'no brainer' TD.
USS Juneau (CL-52) of the Atlanta class light cruisers.๐ Subject of several docus, the five brothers were the Sullivans. A few pics attached showing some camo schemes. Plus a coupla pics of her sister USN Atlanta. Subsequently two USN ships were named in the Sullivans honour. The latest being an Arleigh Burke destroyer DDG-68. The first was a Fletcher class destroyer now a museum ship in Buffalo New York I believe. Wish I'd known that when I was there in 1986! 11'3" !! Sheesh๐ฎ she's gonna take some launching, never mind getting her to the lake. Looking forward to the vids of the sea trials๐ Cheers, Doug ๐ ▲
