Good evening Colin and Dave, thanks for that ,having only built static before it's a bit of a learning curve for me .
I was going to join the model boat club in Edinburgh but at the moment for medical reasons I'm very much confined to the house and shed ,if the wife had her way it would permanently be the shed 😂.
Cheers Marky 🙄

That's me got my motor I now need the help of you kind ladies and gentlemen as to determine the length of the prop shaft I've taken a few photos for you to peruse ,on the drawing the centre line of the shaft is 6mm above the top of the keel, I'm proposing to cut a piece 1/2 the diameter of the motor out the keel to keep the shaft and motor as straight as possible strengthening either side , I'm just not sure whether to do this at frame 7 or 6 , in the photos There is a ruler on the drawing ,any idea what length the prop shaft should be?
There is also a picture of the drawing of the prop with a ruler next to it, what diameter should the prop be? If you take the measurement from the centre line to the top it's 30mm ,is this a 60mm prop? Last question as its a single prop should it be left or right handed ?.
Thanks in advance Marky

I popped into a wee model shop today (before hospital) alas no one knew anything about RC for boats the dealt primarily with RC Cars but the nice young man said they had a motor -esc combo that should work ,the motor was a 550 brushed motor with a 320A water proof ESC .
My question is would this motor combo do me for the tug?I
And it's pretty reasonable at £18.

Frames and keel doubled up and glued so leaving them clamped up overnight to fully cure .
Question - if you look at the picture of the keel you will notice I've marked the position of the prop shaft on and it's quite near the top edge of the keel ,can I cut a section out the keel to accommodate the motor probably between frames 7and 6 .

In the late 50s early 60s my brother was allowed to take me out (because he was at school) we used to go to a picture house in Partick for the penny crush there were no seats and you just sat on the floor and saw old Tom Mix films, another picture house along Dumbarton road would let you in for a jam jar ,like you say who would let a 4 and 5 year old go out cruising the town😂 on a Saturday nowadays.
