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.

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.
