These are my very first boats I ever made. At the left you see a yacht I made in about 1979. It was only made to prove some guy his boat was not as fast as his big mouth. Two heavy Johnson motors and 2 motorbike batteries made the guy a bit more humble. Now we are rebuilding it for my nephew in a more appropriate configuration.
Wood still works best.
I choose this model to build an out-board motor on a rather small yacht and kept the finishing rather simple. It's a hard lesson, but to be honest, I fell in love with the idea of having a fast boat and tug boat at the same time. It will take me some more months to finish this one because I HATE PVC and I hate the bad kits from Robbe. The hull was deformed and the parts were only touched by the cutting machines and fitted real badly. Only the scow had to be replaced because I did'nt like that long toiletpaper tube.
