About this boat
This the latest offering from Vintage Model Works which is a 36 inch Marlin Cabin Cruiser
This model was originally an important model release for Vernon, being the first of its kits that was large enough to take the bulky radio control gear of the day. It appeared in 1953 at 72s/11d (£94 today) and was reviewed in the November Model Maker who found the design, with its rounded cabin and open front cockpit, the 'nicest looking power boat yet kitted'. It was for 1cc to 5cc diesel power or a large electric motor such as the 12V Taco
However todays specification is somewhat different
Power – Overlander T3548/05
Speed controller – Hobbywing Quirun 90
Propeller – 45mm 2 blade
Battery – Turnigy 2200 Mah 3s 25c Lipo
Radio Flysky FS16x 6 channel

It is a nice Classic Model Power Boat from 1960's so it fits my main area of interest perfectly.
I also bought a new set of plans for it.
.....mine is not a well made or finished as your superb example though!
