The Wavemaster kit has been remade by SLEC in two sizes, the original 34โ and a new shorter 25โ version.
Both kits are still currently available. There is a basic fittings kit available for them that is available in white metal or 3D printed. You can also take a look at the fitting available for other boats of a similar size as you might also find something in amongst them that you could also find a use for? Hope this helps, Bob. ▲

It won't be scale as such as it's not based on a real boat but I don't think you will go far wrong at a scale of 1:12.
If there is a door then that could be used for reference but often they are lower than a standard door, nothing like a proper door or often no door at all! ▲

Your Wavemaster is the original 34โ long Classic Model Power Boat that was probably jig-built from the early kit produced by HHM.
It was not unusual for the builder and/or the owner to mark their name somewhere on the inside of the boat back in those days (not so common now) that helps to identify the age of the boat more accurately. These early model boats were often powered by water cooled diesel engines that were converted aero-engines. One well known example was powered by 3.5cc Oliver Tigre engine, and was owned by the maker of these engines ! Bob. ▲

It looks like this is a duplicated thread about the same boat that you have just mentioned here already, but it is a good boat and nice to see.
If your Wavemaster actually was built in the 1950โs, then it would haven been made from the same original HHM kit that I have. My kit has not been built, but I have made a copy of it so that the kit has been preserved for anyone that enjoys collecting or building these old original saw cut kits. The boat was later kitted by Yeoman after HHM stopped making it, but as far as I know there were very few (if any) deliberate changes and it was still intended to be built on a jig. I built my own copy Wavemaster on a jig that I made to the original HHM instructions, so mine is precision jig built - the authentic olde fashioned way! I have added some pictures of my Wavemaster hull as it was being built on the jig as a reference . I look forward to seeing the finished boat on the Classic Model Power Boat thread as we have not seen any of them on there yet. The second picture that you have now added shows a model in a classic pastel sage green with white colours that really do suite the boat very nicely. Bob. ▲
