Imara
About 10 years old, currently with a DC motor setup Hectoperm but complete base plate can be swapped for a 2 cylinder cheddar models Proteus boiler and steam plant. With ABC boiler control. Lovely detailed model, cruses well on 4 Lead acid batteries in parallel lots of power from the MARXX motor and 60 ~ 70mm I forget, 4 blade brass prop. Actually needs more weight in the back already 4 lumps of lead in the back and some plates of stainless steel. When it gets moving the bow wave is huge. 😁

    Hi there, a good looking boat, well done. I also have an Imara which I am currently outfitting the motors (Caldercraft CEM 900T)
    and electrics, but need advice on the amount of ballast required to get it the correct waterline What was the total weight of the ballast you used?

    Many Thanks..........Richard

    Thank you for your kind comments. if you don't have an Imara you should put it on wish list, at least. it is still best tug kit available, despite its price, and it is not too difficult a kit to complete, even if you limited experience......Richard
