Just my luck. I've managed to finish my winter projects on my ex Smit Nederland for the past three years but family illnesses have meant that I can count the number of trips to the lake on one hand.  :((

So far, it's been 1) complete rebuild from deck up and replacement of all electrics except motors, then complete repaint.
                        2) full set of running and deck lights
                        3) bow thruster

Thanks to Mayhem members for their helpful suggestions for how I tackled these!  :-) But what do I do this year? I have two more channels on the r/c so I'm thinking a working winch (seem to be pricey) or making the fire monitor into a working device. Any ideas, suggestions etc would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello Stoney, Best of luck with your build, it took three & a half years to build my Trent.
