Good evening Old Duffer, we don't expect you to keep up with the elite master builders, quite a lot of us take ages to complete our models.
I have severe arthritis myself which controls the pace of my builds.
But the feeling of fulfilment at seeing the finished model is what keeps me going.
We all try to help each other, don't think as a newby on here you can't offer suggestions.
With your mobility problems you could find easier ways to do things that we don't know about. YET.
As for your plastic prop if it's the correct size and pitch it will be fine, props can be changed so easily its often best to wait and see how it performs before going to unnecessary expense.
Cheers Colin.

Old-duffer,
Do not worry about how long it takes to build your boat.
As long as you enjoy the hobby time will have no meaning.
If and when you have any questions just ask away as i am sure the members here will help you.

If it looks right it probably is.

Thanks for your advise Martin, as far as a build log tbh I'm not sure if I can do that I would like to post photos from time to time if that's ok? my problem is I have good days and bad day's, what would take you maybe 1 hour to complete a task would possibly take me half a day and I'm not competent enough to add any skills to anyone.as I'm sure that I will be asking many questions and advise during the build.

Welcome to the weird and beautiful model boat world.
Although Martin is correct in his wise answer to your question, some manufacturers label their products the other way.
So as Martin said if you're using a single prop it doesn't matter.
The main points to keep in mind are the size and type of model the speed of the motor in relation to the prop as some props may look good but won't drive the boat efficiently.
Hope that this hasn't confused you, post more details with pictures if possible and one of us members will definitely be able to help you.
Cheers Colin.

Hi Old-duffer,
Firstly i would like to welcome you to this fantastic site.
Reference prop rotation.
Assuming you are looking at the prop from the aft of the boat.
I think it is a left hand prop.
Although it dose not matter with a single prop as you can always reverse the motor rotation by reversing the motor wires.
Will you be doing a build log of your Slec RAF rescue launch

Hi guys I'm a newbie to the model boat building community, although I've built a few RC model aircraft I enjoy the building side of the hobby but need advice on many aspects of construction and fitting.out I'm currently attempting to build the Slec RAF rescue launch, a brief summary of my profile, I suffered a major stroke in 2020 and started to build model aircraft as part of my rehabilitation, post stroke left my with weakness down left side and blindness in my left eye as you can emagine I was an accident waiting to happen attempting to flying model aircraft, so to continue with the building of models decided to convert to the building and operating of model boats what could go wrong!!!! Do now that's all behind us this is my question the motor that I'm gonna use rotates the shaft anticlockwise, so if I was to replace the prop would I need a LH prop or a RH prop?
