About this boat

I bought this as a started 'Chris Craft' kit, it was so poorly built that the only thing I used was the hull and that needed extensive upgrading before I could continue, all the rest has been scratched built. She is still under construction but the photo show her progress to date. The cabin comes off in 2 parts, they are not fully fitted in the picture as some of the varnish is still curing and a small gap under each can be seen. Most of the fittings are white metal but are of poor quality and need much deburing and pollishing before painting. All the portholes will be lit, all running lights, bow lights, spot lights, control panel and cabin lights will work making evening sailing quite spectacular. Will update the photo when she is finished.
Katie, formally 'Sea Dancer' was almost finished 3 months ago (March 2014). Since then she has been fitted with a 750k brushless motor that makes her very fast for a quite heavy boat. The ESC was non reversable but have now found an inexpensive 70amp reversable one, this runs for much longer than the brushed motor the only downside is the lack of slow speed control. She is fitted wit 2 x 5000 Lipos at around £50 each. (Motor: E-flite Power 32 BL o/r ) (ESC: 70amp) (8/10)
