    Just sharing a video link of a film I took a while ago while boating in freezing weather. Lucky enough, the lake is fed with underground warmer waters, so no frozen lake 😊

    This is a another built I no longer have but fondly remember. I took the hull of an German model, the Lisa M (from Krick) and remade the deck and cabin inspired on an American "Downeaster" type pleasure boat.

    This is a wooden built I no longer have but fondly remember. The plans for the hull were a composition of different ideas leading to this Frankenstein. Perhaps in the future I may recreate it. The lines are based on a 1970s Chris-Craft boat, the 30-footer Chris-Craft Sportsman.

    So, lo and behold this morning I took my newest boat for a test drive. Besides finding I need to rearrange ballast here and there it ran flawlessly. Now playing with the ballast issue.

    Hello Doug!

    I drove a 75 which I had for 8 years. I sold it 10 years ago and I regret it. One of the best rides I ever had. Now I use Rover as a "brand" for some of my boats (it just sounds pretty cool).

    Cheers,
    B.

    Fresh off the shipyard is the new addition to my flotilla. This boat is made out of a fiberglass hull with superstructure and cabin made with 2mm ABS plastic sheet. It still needs a bit of details but I couldn't resist the opportunity to share it. This is a marine assistance boat from my imagination following the lines of similar boats here and there.

    Mmm, that's a bit far from here, in Austria (by Salzburg). I have no clue, but I imagine it should be good to go. My place near Salzburg is the Traumsee, where there is a strong model boat builders presence. They do events during summers. Of course, COVID screwed all during the last two years, but a group there intend to go on in 2022 with their big event.

    Hello! This outboard is from a different source which I can't remember its name as it is no longer in the market, but is quite similar to the Graupner one. It also took me a while to figure out on which type of boat it should go. Thank you, Narcos!πŸ˜†

    This is "Salty Dog". Inspired by an 1970s - early 1980s small sport fisherman boat model of the same name from defunct boat Uniflite, this boat 1/16 scale was build using a fiberglass hull purchased in the internet a US firm. The hull is based upon a 23-footer Uniflite from an American hull supplier on Ebay. The deck, cabin and flybridge were build from 2mm ABS plastic sheets. It is powered by a single 540 brushed motor and one A123 (AKA LifePo) 9.9v battery 2500 mAh battery.

    After watching too many episodes of a Colombian series on Pablo Escobar in Netflix I had to do something about it. So here is "El Jefe". Taking ideas from several different simple center console boats and using an an outboard drive unit, I came up with this boat using, in large part, recycled material from other builds I previously cannibalized. I got the flat-bottomed fiberglass hull from a source in the USA. This one is a pretty fun drive on a 1/10 scale. Not too fast, not too slow.

    This is "Annette".
