The Sea Star is older than the internet, so very little to be found.
I have the same problem looking for information about the Helgoland kit, popular in the 70's.
I once had a 40 year collection of Model Boats magazine 1956-1985 but my brother ripped them up for the pictures.
Loads of Irreplacable articles lost.

I made a Cachalot at the time with an ED Racer.
I was very disappointed as it was slower than my semI scale torpedo boat based on a scaled down Black Marauder by Philip Connolley, such a great performer that I went on to fit a K&B35, then an OS40FSR.
Maybe I just did not understand a deep Vee.
Good luck

No doubt that it is an exercise for satisfaction - like steam power - and to be encouraged. That is one of the reasons for our hobby.
I have seen an article about a model with a home built four cylinder marine diesel engine driving a generator/electric motor - superb engineering.
It needs a large scale heavy displacement model such as a tug or trawler, or a very large battleship or liner.
Economically any generator system would really be just an expensive way of replacing batteries or ballast.
Practically, in a normal model, with the availability of modern lightweight electric motors and batteries, there is nothing better to achieve longer duration than putting in more amp hours - but where is the challenge!
