You've got this Jim! A great challenge, but plenty robust with the 6mm ply. Will also build my 48" Chris Craft upside down. For me it's the only way to "true" the bulkheads and stringers as I have never invested in a large jig. Keep those pix coming!

Thank you everybody for welcoming me. Iโve now started the Sarik Riva Aquarama. I bought the Short Kit from Sarik Hobbies which consists of one large sheet of plans and an old article from Marine Modelling Magazine April 1997 along with laser cut keel, stringers, and frames in 6mm ply. Iโm glueing the keel and the stringers together after sanding away all the laser burn marks. Then Iโll be trying to understand how to build the hull upside down on a board! Wish me luck!

Hi, I've nearly "finished" my Sarik Aquarama which I also build from a short set. I've built my previous boats from kits so this was my first attempt at (almost) a scratch build, plank on frame. I also cheated (because of costs) and made it a single prop version. I decided that the original builder had made the plans in his own vision, so, I felt it was ok to put my (unique) stamp on it too (at least that's my excuse). I think there was an early aquarama that had a single engine, part of its evolution.
I'm not very good at finishing off my boats so probably won't complete all the fiddly bits.
Cheers, Mark

Regarding your Sarik model of Thames River Barge, there use to be a group of enthusiasts who had a website AMBO Association of Model Barge Owners but its gone now, though about five years ago a private group was started on Facebook which you may fine useful for information and locating other fellow model barge enthusiasts in your region.
