HI all,

I have just received my plans from Hobby store. I Intend to build my boat from all balsa (I have loads lying around originally for another project). I Intend to fibre Glass over the balsa planking. Would this be a good thing to do?

I have a few questions......

The over all dimensions are 34x9" approx (I don't have the plan In-front of me).

I will have to do this project on the cheap as I have been out of work for a good few months. 😟

How many shafts did the original have?

If I go down this route. What props and motor do you recommend? (Links to websites would be Invaluable).

Am I better running tank drive or with a mixer?

What voltage of battery would be recommended (etc buggy pack or SLA)?

I know I can get fittings from HLS mouldings, but where can I get Teak planking from for the deck and what would be the best way to seal It? (Again web site links would be great)

Many thanks for any help given,

Mark
