Took a couple of years to figure this one out. Cut part of the deck to make it removable and then inside (before I glued the rest of the deck on) I made battery trays / motor mount etc from GRP sheet. Small 1400kv brushless motor and a 3blade 25mm brass prop. (It does a very scale 200mph at full chat)😁The mast is GRP sheet as well with some of the kit parts added. The masts fore and aft are brass tube. I did all that to make them more robust to the odd knock.

Hi Trident.
A nice clean cut looking model. Well balanced machinery spaces. Be good to see it on the water when your ready. Regards Bill. ▲

Hi chugalone. That is correct and it is a bit of a drawback with this one in that there are no coamings. Once I had cut out the deck (hatch) I added a framework of grp sheet for the hatch to sit back on. Unless it is flat calm then it does tend to get a bit of water in. One of the members at my club suggested adding a film of vaseline to the area where the hatch sits in order to prevent water ingress. Will try that the next time I take her out.

Looking at your pictures again, I guess there is not enough height in the structure to create a coaming.😎

It also will be super to see your entire building process.
I have an M.S.A 563/568 with crew that maybe I try to do what you did.

You have accomplished an excellent job well done on your vessel. Very detailed. I can’t wait till you get her on the water. One thing I saw in your pictures is that you have no coamings to prevent the water from coming in. Maybe I missed something and you do have a tight way to prevent that.😎 ▲
