    ๐Ÿ˜ŠSorry about my Early text not being clear enough
    Lets begin again

    1: Yes it is the MMM Model of the Portgarth
    The Dimensions are Scale 1:32nd OAL 37 1/2"(950mm)
    Beam 12 1/4" (310mm)

    2: The 2 Steerable Kort Nozzles are 70mmThrustmaster

    3: The 2 Propellers are 4 Bladed Kort propellers 65mm each with m5 Thread

    4: The 2 motors are Thrust Master T12 6-12 volt DC 12 pole
    Hi-Torque low rev. I don't know what size batteries to use

    5: Yes I will be putting in Lighting
    i.e. Navigation Lights and Towing lights and maybe accommodation lights
    On the Question of putting in a bow thruster and what size I don't think I bright enough to do that what with electrical side of it and wiring it up
    I haven't made my mind up on weather to just cruise around with it or to join in tug pulling competitions I will have to look into that sorry this post is long I hope this clarifies things Best Regards John๐Ÿ˜€
