March 2010. I am now using 12 cells and a Graupner speed controller. I added watercooling too and the boat goes noticeably faster- but melted a fuse holder on first outing so I need to upgrade some of the wiring. There was also a bit of prop aerating on turns so might reduce the prop size.
The last photo is with increased voltage.

- GreggSub-LieutenantYour'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 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.
- Merco61RecruitAbout 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. - froggyt996Petty Officer 1st ClassHI it is ST LAURIE made by LAWRENCE MANUFACTURING 106 Lawrence Road liverpool sold for A£4. 10 shillings or A£4.50p to days money in the 1950 fiberglass hull and cabin roof ply cabin sides length 42in beam 12in
