Deffo a tug , either way if the drivetrain is well matched you shouldn't need cooling really , just my opinion

What kind of boat do you have ? A prop size and motor make/number would help 😀

For my next little project I need to make some window frames , Thought about buying some but couldnt find exactly what I want which means Its time to make a mould for them , Most of the windows will be the same size but theres one I want that goes from normal height to near deck level on a autoliner (longliner) that Im planning , The theory being get all the bits I need as near as I can all together then build the hull simples 😑 well In theory anyway lol

I had a go at 1/10 electric touring cars for a while good fun but a little repetitive for me and bloody expensive too lol

On a lighter note model boatbuilding is infectious , Getting out of control at an alarming rate you will soon have models under construction everywhere lol 😁

Ive decided now my model making Is back Into full swing to scratch build a Barnett class lifeboat , After the plans arrived I set to work cutting out the frames from ply and also the keel but that just didnt seem right so that lot went In the bin ! My thinking was that If I was going to build the thing then do It right so a new keel was cut from oak as were all the frames , The stringers are made from Alder . The hull will be fully ribbed with Oak ,now some will maybe think why ? nobodys going to see the ribs etc ! The simple answer Is that I will know and If I am to build something that I plan to keep then I will feel much better If I do the best job that I can do . The hull will be double diagonal planked with mahogany so when complete she should be a very strong boat Indeed , I will post some pictures In the coming days and throughout , Alongside this build I will be building a Liverpool class using the same methods 😊
