I am just wondering how a Fleet Admiral is now a Warrant Officer as in my case.I should be a Commodore as the points show.Must be an oversite.

As Marky says it suits the Brooklyn.Looks like I will have to put
the same style of fenders on my New Jersey.The tires kept being ripped off.Close encounters with the dock.They do look better on an older period tug.👍

📝 Propellers

Looking at the stern of the boat and you have 2 rudders.
The port prop should be counter clockwise and the starboard one
clockwise.If you have only one rudder then the port is clockwise
and the starboard one is counter clockwise.

Coming along nicely.That's the thing with Springer hulls.The superstructure is not confined to one style.One of our members in the club had one hull but three different superstructures.He was able to change them throughout the days sailing.

Before going to the expense of new esc's.Check the current draw when the boat is in the water.I should have mentioned that sooner.

When I had a Schnellboot it was 1/31 scale and I used Speed 400's.My esc's were 50 amp.I had no problem.Once you put the boat in the water there is more resistance on the props.With that there is more current draw.Maybe look into getting a higher rated esc.

💬 Oh, NO Water Everywhere!

I remember a few years ago that I was excited to get the boat finished and I went to the pond.Put the boat in the water and ran it for awhile.Brought it back in and opened up the superstructure
only to find quite a bit of water in the bottom.I was in a rush and forgot to grease the stuffing tube.One thought for you.
