Can any Johnny builders tell me how much lead was needed to displace enough water, mine seems to need a frightening amount ! Guidance appreciated please, I'm trying to achieve about 10mm under CWL.
Thanks
Paul.

Confession time today ......... I floated the boat today in a paddling pool, probably needs some lead it's a little high out the water. I got a bit too excited and connected the battery reverse polarity for goodness sake ! Anyway net result is £150.00 for two new esc and a distribution board !!!! There's no fool like an old fool ! Bet I don't do that again.

Thanks all, I ended up using a UK product named 'Sticks like Sh1T' which it does seem to !
Hopefully next Sunday for in the pond ! Just have to build a launch cradle and a bit of electrical work for remote switches.
Thanks for your interest.

Love the Hull colours, you have done almost the same as me in respect of lights and radar, as a beginner the water cannon were a step too far ! I'd cut enough holes in the hull as it was LOL !
Railings have driven me mad ! Good wishes.

Thanks all, anything that doesn't trash my hull if it comes off is good. I had thought Evo Stik contact but it leaves a hell of a mess !

You will see in the photo I haven't attached my bow rubber fender strip. I am terrified of ruining my hull so what glue would you use ? I was going to use contact adhesive but if ever it comes off it leaves a hell of a mess. Suggestions how to do it appreciated, it is 8mm thick so a heavy rubber. Thanks Paul.

As I've seen a few on here I thought I would add mine. I am grateful to Mike (Westwind) whose super result has kept me going ! I guess another couple of weeks and mine will be done. I have made lots of mistakes on the way, and concluded that brass railings are the work of the devil ! Fingers crossed she works as advertised. I have substituted the deck gear for aftermarket white metal stuff, as I'd had enough of ABS LOL ! She has interior and exterior lights and working radar. Two 720 brushed motors in Kort nozzles and bowthruster. My aircraft friends want to name her the 'Titanic' ! hope not !
Good wishes all.
Paul.

Thanks Mike, I have written to them hoping to get them to ship one to the UK. Despite being an aeromodeller for 50yrs I know little about boats. Your pictures have helped me loads in deciding what to do next ! Yours is the inspiration to keep going. I have a long way to go yet !

Looks great, I am in the process of building one of these at the moment. I am a fledgling boat builder being an aeromodeller, I note you mention an auto bilge pump ? Where would you source such an item ?
