This was a Damage R/C Police Boat ( That is mass produce in the USA and can be found on eBay anyday ) That I converted into a fire boat .This is for display only. it is 21 " or 533.4 mm long 6" or 152.4 mm at it's widest point .Everything on it was put on my myself except the hand rails , air horn and anchor . The black on the deck is all real non-skid .This was a fun project to do for I never did work with anything like this or this large before . Most of my customizing and kitbashing is with diecast fire trucks .

Your'e boat looks good. regards to your Duseldorf, check out the boat build blogs as my own dusseldorf is featured there and may help you somewhat. if you do need any assistance, get back to me at any stage of the build as I may have pictures/data, info that may make it easier or add more detail to the basic item.

I have rebuilt this from a damaged ex IC model. Borrowed a plan from a club member and managed to reconstruct the missing bits. Originally used a fast electric car type brush motor with 7.2 v nicads. Worked ok but nothing spectacular. Recently ventured into brushless and LiPo. Tried an inrunner but ran far to hot and not veryt fast. Changed to an Outrunner (mork torky apparently) and nearly took off! (it is a seaplane tender but should stay on the water!) The LiPo is 11.1v 2800MaH. I use a Graupner Ultramat 16 charger, don't use other than a dedicated LiPo charger and ESC. Battery misuse can result in pyrotechnics, so beware. initialyy tried a two blade racing prop but have changed this to a 29mm 3 blade brass prop to slow down the speed. I have also added more lead and will advise the final weight once I have tried the model on water. I sail with Crewe and District MBC at Boundary Park, Nr Knutsford in Cheshire.

Can anyone tell me what boat this is?
I think its a modified Aerokits fire boat or Sea queen,
The deck is different because it steps down, the cabin looks to be modified, the hull is all fibre glass with wooden bulkheads.
Nice 10cc Merco engine.
Will upload more recent pics as the pics are from about 18 months ago, I've since started re building the boat to sail then in future sell.

About the fibre glass hull it looks to be ply with a thin coating of fibre glass.
It's roughly 34" long.
The guy who the boat used to belong to had a couple of aerokits boats as well as this one, he had a sea queen and another boat but I cant remember the model name.
from looking at other boats the only boat I can really compare it with is the sea queen.
I will be uploading the boat with or without the engine on ebay in the next couple of months, I have two merco 61 marine engines that will be on ebay soon.
