10 inch boat kit purchased on eBay.
Purchase a small boat kit eBay/China ($10.00 USD including shipping offer a different amount).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wooden-Sailing-Boat-Model-DIY-Kits-Ship-Assembly-1-30-Scale-Handmade-Toy-Gift-US/174319740908?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
This is a laser cut kit and all parts just pop out.
The planking is also laser cut as you can see in the photos.
This is just almost 10 inches in long.
Will cut the bulkheads out to make a floor board for motor and electronics.
Boat will be powered by 4 AA batteries.
May make the boat a bit different and put in a smoke stack and a small lying cabin after the large cabin, making all cabins removable to get to the inside.
I think I may nay one large hatch for the two.
Will use a servo electronics as a speed control to drive a small motor, ordered very small motors fro eBay/China.
Had trouble loading pictures as the are in word form so I gave the eBayinfo so you can see the pictures.
Should be fun.

Just wondering who purchase the rights to the MidWest boat kits (formally Laughing Whale). These little that were produced in the 80โs/90โs were one of the best kits ever made. These were easy to build and could be modified very easily.

Got this wrong today, picked โCโ and not โBโ. Just a wild guess as I do not know much about solas regulations. Did not want to look things up as anyone can do this. Now have 5 wrong and never missed a day of questions. Hope to do better tomorrow๐

The best thing would have been is to ignore this day question and set everything back. Then start fresh for the next day. The first question was good as you just had to delete the wrong answers and you were left with one. Had it right the first time and chose the same answer the second time which was wrong as I thought it was all the same answered. The outcome you chose to redo the answers was not fair. Please delete this days results and start fresh which I do not think you will do as others have more influence on this๐ค
