Between 2017 and 2019 I made the Deans Sea Plane Tender SPT441 and concurrently made an identical plank on frame model which I called SPT409. Plans were prepared using a number of sources (which varied a little from Deans), and the build progressed with both boats, side by side, checking comparative weights as progress was made. A Pro 400 motor was fitted to SPT441, whilst SPT409 has a brushless motor. At first glance the two boats appear identical, but the moment the superstructure is removed the differences can be seen.

Addionally, as they are both similarly fast and small they appear even faster on the water.
A great illustration that small models (even at the same actual speed) appear very much faster than large ones!l
