About this boat
This is the very first scratch build I ever "started" way back when I was still in school.
It began as a cover photo on a copy of Power Boating Ontario in July of 1986. I was looking for something that wasn't difficult (never thought that one through) as it was meant as a project for some youth that myself and a friend were working with through Youth for Christ in London Ontario.
The plan was to keep it small so the original drawings would create a hull no larger than 20" that could be operated with a 2 channel radio and would be a cheap build

Epoxy and Microballons, I have used extensively, mostly on residential construction and full-sized boats. Now on Model boats.

This youth activity was probably the project that inspired me to go back to University in 1991 to shift my career aspirations from engineering to teaching
My model was set aside for a long time...yes until the Covid years and went through a strip and refinish on the entire model (the details and paint job looked like crap).
