Billings Progress
Seven years ago this boat was given to me making it my first boat. Turned out to be a good starter boat as the hull was almost finished. Having painted it the way the write up seamed to say. Then ready to run and into the water. The boat being top heavy it tipped and took on water. Back to the work bench and striped and left to sit until this year. The boat is almost finished needs rudder motor and ballast

This is my Billings USCG Life boat. Had not installed esc into the finished boat. Had a P94 duel esc operation and P92 power destitution board Component Shop (Action Electronics)units taken from another build shelved as it became to big a job at the time. May finish one day.
The boat has twin props and rudders so with the P 94 unit can run the boat now. Boat is now ready for water tests.

Re-Fit
Two years ago I was given a boiler and engine.Wanting to use them I looked for a launch plan to use. Having not found a plan I changed one close to what I wanted. This was the first open launch and total scratch built without a plan. With the launch finished it was OK but the lines from fore to aft looking from the side lay to flat.With the building of the Miranda and the Borkum I could see that both had curves and were not flat.
With this said I cut the launch fore and aft to build them up.The stern was raised almost 1/2" the bow 3/8"the launch now has curve.The before is posted here.
Will post a picture of now tomorrow.

Nick for sure this is the right place to post.So sorry for your loss.Grief is such a personal thing for each of us to recover from. I do like Colin's idea and it seams you have the boat to dedicate for your daughter.
I'm not sure how one goes about getting thier "mojo" back I do believe talking to others of your loss and grief help's
Please use the forum as a sounding board

Yesterday I recieved a number of phone call telling me my SIN(social insurance number)had been put on hold as there had been illegal use of it and I should press #1 to deal with the problem. FULL OUT SHAM.I informed the authorities of the calls and gave the phone numbers.
There is a Quot: There's a sucker born every minite.
It seams to me the caller is looking for that person to believe the call is legit and give the SIN number to get fixed.
As I think most people go through life looking to do right in the world. Some find it easier to scam people out of whatever be it money or possessions.
Where does that come from.
How do they learn to work the scam.
Is it passed on within the family.
Is it just find the easiest way to get the things you want.
Don't work find someone to give you thier money.
Just me thinking out loud .

With this subject seams we are looking at the old saying.
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.
I didn't start building models thinking who may want them when I'm gone.For me finding a plan of a boat to build gave me great satisfaction when finished.My boats may not survive.I'm sure parts and items will and someone else will get the joy of them.

I'm not sure many of us have a plan for the disposition of our boats.When I had to move I sold some of my work for little money. Broke up some and kept parts off of them. Most of my builds are scratch builds and other then parts worth very little to others.
The club I belong to gets donations from families and members to help with the disposal of thier loved ones work.
We sell what we can at a club auction donating the money made to a Boys and Girls club in our area.
