Conversion of Sea Queen hull to Navy Launch

HI Paul33
I have both a Sea Queen and a Picket boat, the working version of an Admirals Barge. A fellow club member has an Admirals barge and I attach photos of all.
As you will see the Sea Queen is a totally different shape to the barge and will not be an easy conversion.
If you can build from a plan there are plans for Picket Boats (Admirals Barges) and it would probably be easier to source the correct plan rather than to try and convert a different hull.
Good luck with your model

HI Paul

Have a look at some of the Admirals launches, they were of a similar design the the sea queen cabin but more boxy for the forward cabin, might give you some food for thought???

Conversion of Sea Queen hull to Navy Launch

Hi, has anybody used the hull from an Aerokits Sea Queen plan to build a navy type launch. I've just started cutting out all the hull components via a plan and not a kit, and will soon start assembly.
The problem I have is the more I see pictures and side elevations the more the cabin top is loosing its charm with me. So any alterations I need to make will need to be done soon.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cheers
Paul D
