This is a repair for the model Melvin. A while back, I put a little story about this particular model that was always sinking when I ran at our club's favourite water hole. So, I cut the hull at the waterline and added about a half-inch. I can tell you now that the bathtub had a real workout to get the model stable & balanced. Painted hull, but it wasn't a very good paint job; but that will not be seen in the water, I hope. I took the last photo off the internet, and you can see that the deck isn't very tight to the hull & I would be a little worried about a leak there.
