My First Build

dirtslinger321 created the topic: My First Build

As I am just starting out I have posted a few pictures of my first scratch build in my gallery. Though I have a fair amount of skill shaping and working with fiberglass I have never built a boat. I decided to scale down a drawing of a Flats boat I designed in order to see if my theories would work. The plug is 45" long and 15" wide semi tri hull. Any input from others is appreciated

Now that's different for sure ... Nice job thinking outside the box of typical RC boat design. It will be as they say once done ... It is what it is :woohoo:

Well here goes the deck it will have a removable center for access complete with center console and cooler seat. There will also be a poling platform in the back that will fold up for motor starting. I am considering putting an inboard gas engine in the second one...... What do ya'll think?
