About this boat
This is my latest build and is from the Caldercraft range. It has taken me 3 months during the Covid 'lock down' period. It was challenging at times due to the poor information in the so called instruction book and not to scale drawing. The parts list in areas bore little resemblance to what was included in the contents however it makes up to be a very good model and it does help if you have your own stash of materials that you can substitute or make the parts you need or replace.
I used an MFA geared motor at 2.5:1 ratio and a Viper 15 Amp ESC. I installed an electronic switch for the navigation lights and it should give a good effect during the darker afternoons/evening later in the year. In all it was a very satisfying build.

Are you going to add some nets and crew?
Cheers, Doug 😎
PS I clicked 'Like' at the end of your Harbour entry, but it didn't register☹️
Will have to speak to Stephen about that.
In any event, it surely looks like you did a great job!
Well done.
Always good to overcome unwanted problems in design faults.
Be nice to see some below deck shots of your handy work.
Bill.
