   It looks like this particular one of your two Sportman Classic Model Power Boats only needs taking to some local water with a set of charged batteries to get you back afloat again quickly Will 👍

   I suppose the real joy of restoring a Classic Model Power Boat is knowing that you have saved another one to live another day!
   
   Recycling at its finest 👍

   Ah, but think of the pleasure you'll get from finishing a restoration of a boat, and getting it's bottom wet for the 1st time 😊 not that I'd know that feeling, not with model boats anyway.
   I guess almost anyone can buy a new kit and build it, but not everyone can rescue a project, make it good again, and get enjoyment from using it at the end.

   You're not selling the restoration route to me Bob! 🤣
   
   More elements of the Sprite can be seen in this one.

   This Sportsman and your other Sportsman shows me how the cabin fits onto the hull - much better and more tidy than mine that has been botched.
   
   ……did I mention how much easier and quicker it would be to build a new kit?
   
   Restoring old Classic Model Power Boats can be very soul destroying when a new kit is available that can be build properly in less than half the time .

   Sadly for me Will, a second one has not come along for me yet…………
   
   But when it does, I hope it will need a lot less work than the one that I have found recently !
