    You have a better chance of getting the question right if you read the full sentence. I missed the word model leading me to pick internal combustion as my answer. Must learn to spell and read before answering.

    A new update on this boat.
    After some thought decided to make a new boat out of the starter. The pictures you now see are the finale result.
    I liked the basic look of the hull but it was out of line. The first start was to brake the transom and reset it in line. Cleaned off the decking and built the sides. The pilot house and superstructure were remade in styrene .
    The final result turned out very well.

    We would send young apprentices to the steam room to ask the lead hand for a short weight (wait) The lead hand would send him back to tell us he only had long weights (waits) We sent him back for a long weight. The lead hand would tell him he had to look for the weight a little while latter he would ask the lad if he waited long enough.
