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 😊

📝 Another old built - Downeaster

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.

📝 Old built - Electric Barbarella
5 months ago by Krampus ( Warrant Officer)
Warrant Officer)
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.

📝 Work Boat "Green Goose Boater's Aid"
5 months ago by Krampus ( Warrant Officer)

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.

Nice boat! Very close to the real one. Terrific job. In my case, inspiration came from the boat in the attached pic.

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!😆

📝 Uniflite 28 "Salty Dog" Sport Fisherman

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.

📝 "El Jefe" Outboard Center Console Boat
5 months ago by Krampus ( Warrant Officer)

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.
