Hi I'm Adrian from Shrewsbury, I've just purchased this boat. I had a Mfa spearfish about 15 years ago but that was the only boat I've had.
I have extensive knowledge of radio control, but a novice with boats. Previously I have build a full size automated k9 (dr who) replica, competed with fighting robots/robotwars. My last project was restoring and converting 2 dodgem bumper cars for the kids to ride in the cul de sac.

I want to use it in the River Severn which runs around the town I live, a winter project to involve my sons who are 4 and 2.
Will be starting a build diary thread shortly, hoping people can offer advice.
