Iโm probably going with one motor and prop, primarily for ease of operation and reliability. Three props would look good though!!

Will be interested in your M.T.B. Build have seen a build in M&M mag but they have only utilised one prop. It would be nice to use all three?0

If you ever get fed up with the Stude Cash, I could give it a good home. Ha Ha, she is a Very Pretty motor.๐

If you take a look in my harbour Cash you will see my Grimmershorn, not as good as yours, just bulit straight from the box, regarding ballast, I only had a 12v 7amp battery in, and it needed 60grms of lead in the stern, I've since sold it as I never really liked it to sail, and it was very bulky to travel with, hope this helps you a bit.๐

Hi Doug. I think your grandfather was right about bigger hardware, make sure it doesnโt come loose..(a moment of silence for the crew of the original PT15s superstructure)๐
Iโve had a few good ideas handed to me by a couple of members of this board, going to think about it and see what works. The superstructure on this boat WILL be battened down securely, I can guarantee that!! I think sheโll be stable, there is a lot of hull under the waterline. Not looking forward to dragging her upstairs to the test tank but itโs what needs to be done. Next project? I donโt know. Probably first thing I need to do is revamp my shop for better storage of completed boatsโฆthen, I need to really sit back and see what boats I want to keep and what I want to trade/sell. When I used to fly it was the same. Id build a ton of models over the course of a couple of years, only to find that realistically, I only flew a few of them a lot, and the rest were once in a while birds. Same with my boats. I have a couple that I just wear out, and several that I run off and on, and a couple that get splashed once in a blue moon.. I received 2 kits for Christmas this year..an Italeri Vosper 77 that will be converted to RC, and a Deans Marine Kristina, a nice little herring drifter. I have a Midwest Jim Wilder tug in my โstashโ, really thinking about that as Iโve never done plank on frame, and I think from looking at the kit that it might be a very good introduction to that side of boat modelling. Anyway Doug, keep your fingers crossed, I should have the Grimm splashed in about 3 weeks!! Cash ๐ Like

Hi Pete, thanks for the reply. Yep, that is a 1961 Stude Hawk..her name is โPrettyโ coined by my daughter when she was 5, weโve had the car for a little over 10 years. Original 289, transmission changed to 200r4 auto a few years ago. Sheโs my grocery getter, car show car and that long hood makes a heck of a plans holder!!
Did you build a Grimmershorn? If so, any recollection what she ballasted to? Have a good evening Pete! ๐ Like

Looks like your fitting a lot more goodies in your Grimmershorn than I did Cash, and I'm sure it will be a lot better for it.
btw, is that a Studebaker Hawk in the background I see in pic4? Nice motor๐ Cheers, Pete ๐ Like

Honk Hoooonk! Outa the way ducks, and anyone else, Cap'n Cash iza COMIN' THRU!!
Nice job Cash๐ All that's missing now is the ram-bock bow ๐ฎ๐ Apropos "Iโll need some really good magnets and a mechanical attachmentโฆpins, nylon screws, something that will keep at least one end tied down .." As Grandad used to say (who was actually a very skilled Master Carpenter who built a lot of intricate church furniture): "If all else fails use bloody great nails!" Reckon he might have picked that up while servicing early tanks in WW1. I guess though that Grimmershorn won't be making such violent turns as your PT Boat did. I hope not cos she might fall over on the door handles if she does! That was a productive 8 months๐ So what's next what's next on the McKinney yard slipway? Cheers, Doug ๐ ๐ Like

Thatโs my โmove it ducksโ horn๐๐๐
It is loud. Iโm not using the engine sounds for now, the horn and maybe the ships bell. Think Iโm gonna cruise her around in stealth mode once sheโs fully trimmed, sneak up on a couple of our members doing more talking than boating and let โem have it with the foghorn!!๐คฃ๐คฃ Hopefully I wonโt get thrown in๐ Thanks for the kind words Peter. Most people on this board have much more boat modeling experience than I do, so I appreciate the comments when I do well, and also when I screw something up!!๐ Take care! Cash ๐ Like

Hi Peter. Iโm thinking sheโll be ready by end of January, maybe early February. I keep finding things to take fault with and โdo-overโ. I think once the rails and mast are finished then the rest of the topside details will go fairly quickly, then itโs a simple matter of radio install and ballast. Well, it SHOULD be simple. Weโll see..๐

Hi Cash.
The Dรผsseldorf is a super boat to build especially with all of the functions. I have been working on the house in Hungary since my move but now that winter is here, I am spending more time on her. I have just completed the wiring diagram to allow for the 16 required channels. I am now starting to figure out how I can make a tidy job of the wiring to avoid birds nests. I am waiting for a label printer to arrive from Amazon to make this job a little easier. I will be updating the blog soon. Peter.๐ ๐ Like

Hi Peter. Howโs the Dรผsseldorf coming along? I need to see if you still have a build log going. Thatโs one of the boats that, when I was still mainly into RC flying, aught my eye. That and the Graupner Glasgow. Anyway, press on with the build and Iโll do the same!

Railings are coming along nicely Cash. I have just had to do a load for Dรผsseldorf so know exactly how time consuming they can be. Satisfying when they go well though.
