- rolfman2000Warrant OfficerWould A£100 for the 34" boat be a reasonable offer ??
Best wishes, Dave
So I thought I'd have a go, I think it looks about right, well better than before anyway. I hope these pictures help anyone else wondering about rebuild of hatch covers.
Used a small amount of basswood and balsa.
looks good and sails well have weathered her to look authentic not prestine like my crash tender, range safety launch and arun lifeboat
It travelled around Australia with me and ended up in Perth where it has been stored in my shed for approx the last 20 years - I now have the time to restore it and and do a conversion to electric drive.
Can anyone please advise as to electric motor and speed control that I should be looking at and where I might be able to purchase a fittings kit.

- dbninjaChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassHI Bob, glad you have eventually got round to renovating your crash tender... took a while eh!
for a wide ranging list of power set-ups for your boat, scroll down the list on the left of the home page to "all things RC" then scroll down the pop-up menu to "power set-up" and there they all are! my own 34" I use a graupner speed 600 8.4v on 9.6 numh's gives the boat a really nice sit in the water and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. but there are loads more options such as outrunners and lipo batteries etc.
fitting kits are still available for the 34" boat in the uk, just scroll down the "fireboat" page to find the contact details. good luck... it will be worth it
