billings boat polar trawler
whilst being off work with cancer have spent three months building my polar trawler which I had to remake a lot of superstructure with plasticard due to the old ply delaminated. it has twin screws powered by two 400 motors and 40 amp esc and 6v sla. I think she looks quite good

    Dear Graham, I think they are lovely boats, I don't know if you had to tinker around with ballast like I did cause of being so top heavy, even with a 6v sla battery in it. I took out the original m3 propshafts and put in m4 and far more robust. regards steve
