I sent you an email.
In essence, this boat project is for local pickup. I will not send it.
Also, some parts are missing including the running hardware.

Yes, it is a super looking boat when finished.
However, currently I do not have the time nor capabilities to finish it properly.
That is why I would like to give it for free, but locally here in Florida.

I got a boat project which currently I have no time for.
It is a Dumas model of a 1938 Chris-Craft 3 cockpit boat kit # 1241. It is 40 inches long.
No instruction and a box full of mahogany planking and other pieces. No motor, but a prop and a shaft.
Interested? The price is right = 0$ 👍
the last photo is someone else's finished boat.
send me a pm

I had a great photographer take a few pics of the torpedo boat before modifying it to conform to a TB-1 USS Cushing. 😎

I was invited by the Sarasota model RC sailing club to bring the big 6. Ft long TB-1 torpedo boat to an event in which a local TV morning show will be doing a spot on their club. I was to be just a side show. I brought the TB-1 USS Cushing as well as my PT-109. It was all fun.
I may contact the show for a future topic in the big boat I refurbished and maybe our radio control airplane club in Venice Florida.
Pictures attached.

📝 Update and mods. USS Cushing TB-1

I was just invited to go on a local Sarasota Florida TV morning show ( April 29th ) to bring this big old torpedo boat. This in conjunction with the local RC Sailboat club. But as some of you may recall, when I refurbished the boat last year, there were questions as to what is this boat modeled after. It looks like an 1890's USS Cushing TB-1, but this model had three smoke stacks where the actual Cushing really had only two. The three stack TB boat from that era was the USS Porter TB-6, but the bow is different and so is the stern. So it remained ambiguous....I did not mind it.
I could not be ambiguous for the show, so I decided to modify and make it look like the USS Cushing. The main visual difference was the removal of the middle stack.
However, this model has 3 geared motors and three propellors. I decided not to remove the middle one because it is not seen and also it would have required new bigger motors and bigger props as well as new ESCs. So that is the only main deviation for the USS Cushing.
The boat was then patched up and repainted grey.
I sailed it again in its current USS Cushing configuration yesterday and it was great!!!!
Pics attached on the current configuration.

Took my big 6.5 ft long old Spanish American war era 👍Torpedo boat for a cruise.
Video at full speed. One of the three motors has a missing gear tooth and is making noise. I can’t replace it without major surgery. So for now, it is ok.
Also, I had a friend photographer take still pictures with a zoom lenses should get them professionally edited and sent to me ho

Here is one of my pre built plastic tugboat model. It is small at approx 30 inches length.
I can use the hull and build a new top.
But my preference is a larger size.
For now enjoy this video

Yes, I can see Miss katherine as a good basis for the hull. The upper structure can be modified to suit.
I was looking for a slightly larger hull at 48 inches or so.
This is good information.
Thank you Ronald.

I am not tuned to the RC boat Swap meets. That would be the best option for me. At one point or another someone will be selling a big tug boat / hull or a project I can pick up for reasonable cost.
You think in Florida, there would be such an event.
Thank you

I suppose painting walls is a bit like painting boats on a large scale. 😂
Seriously, be well and get ready for the next big storm.

Back in my youth, I spent the summers in Connecticut ( USA ) working. While there, I spent my off hours at the local small airfield ( Goodspeed airport in East Haddam ) as well as going to small ports to see the ferries and boats go about in Essex harbor along the Connecticut river. I really loved visiting and especially a very small river tub called Pooh ( I suppose as in Winnie the Pooh character ). My wife ( my girl friend at the time ), did join me and we took pictures on that boat.
So that is the background.
Now, in my RC boat collection, I have two tug boats, but those are models of much larger tugboats and I have a soft spot for them.
What I am looking for is to get/purchase a hull ( hopefully with a motor and prop ), that I can build the structure on top from wood or even foam board to resemble the Pooh boat. It would be a gift for my wife as a sort of a reminder of us being together dating back in 1977.
Requirement : I would like the model to be approximately 4 ft long
I do not know the original boat length, but I think it is about 30 ft long. So the scale is of no importance to me. I just need to to be large model.
If someone has information on the actual boat, it had a Delaware😎 registration DL 3205 D.
Any suggestions as to a close enough model out there I can use as a basis of conversion?
That is my challenge 😎

I will open a new thread regarding the small tub boat I was on in my youth. I really would like to build it using an existing hull.
I did make a drawing of it back in 1977

There is a strong resemblance of the two boats. However, the Pooh boat has a taller cabin. But that could be the model being different a bit.
I have to locate two more photos I took of the Pooh boat.
Any more info on this Katherine boat?
Thanks👍

Glad your boat was rescued. You never know how the next person may enjoy it.
My very first RC boat was a small tug made of plastic that I got from a fellow modeler so I can start boating. I made a simple barge for it and loaded it with trucks and also one of my drones ( which I actually flew off from, but did not land back on it ). Here is a picture of the simple set up.😎
I am looking to get another tug and convert it to an old river tug when my girlfriend ( and now my wife ) went on it. I searched the internet for the boat named Pooh ( as in Pooh bear ) and there is no info on it unfortunatly, but I have a couple of photos of it.
Be well

Even when disasters strike and the shit hits the fan, need to get some diversions. My diversions are riding my bicycle, building models, fixing models ( boats and planes ), volunteering at my favorite aviation events (Young Eagles), presenting at our History club.....😎.
How about starting a new boat build! Tugboats are my favorite.

That sucks. You had some major damage at your place. Hopefully it is cleaned up before the mold gets it.
When Ian struck, my wife went to Target a few days later and they were drying the place with those big fans. She got mold poisoning just from walking in the store. She ended up in the hospital later.
Florida is not a fun place during hurricane season.
My damage was some roof tiles missing, lanai screen damaged and my RV canvas covering was shredded.
And, there is always next year to screw it up for us.
