Both motors stone cold as well as the speed controllers.

Hi Mike

What size motors are you using? I have just ordered two 120w for mine.....

Russ

gribeauval · « **Reply #79 on:** April 13, 2011, 07:30:36 pm »

A couple of electric scooter motors I aquired some time ago Russ. I think they are the 24v version but not sure if they are 100 or 120 watt version, still they seem to be ok.

As many of you know that when I have built a boat and it does what it is supposed to do then I usually dispose of it. This is also the case with the Clyde, RNLB City of Bristol 70-003 as I have nowhere to store it and need the space for other projects. (plus the wife wants her kitchen back !!)

So I am open to offers for the boat by personal message only . All offers will be considered and the winner must have a LARGE vehicle in which to collect it !

The sale will not include the batteries or r/c. It will be available after the Loch Ness Sail on the 2nd July.

Mike
I thought you were selling to me after the sail?

Russ..

6705russell · « **Reply #86 on:** June 11, 2011, 10:00:08 pm »

i never get to see it mike......i could retire if i did

nhp651 · « **Reply #89 on:** June 13, 2011, 10:57:07 am »

joking apart.......I'm glad you two have struck a deal over the Clyde....... and Russ can keep the boats together

,........would be nice for him to keep them together for the shows that he puts on with all his other lifeboats to raise money for the RNLI..a grand cause.

Now, if he bought my Clyde, severn, Trent, Waveney and watson, plus my atlantic 21 as well he could have a museum all his own...........tell ya russ....will swap them all for your Z3..............

...it'd be fantastic to keep all three Clydes together.

Good on ya Mike for selling it to him......I believe he'll be bringing the money up with him......

Back on the water today at Westport Lake, Stoke-on-Trent with Russ (6705russell) at the helm.... Dave.

gribeauval · « **Reply #91 on:** August 17, 2011, 08:51:17 pm »

Nice to see her back in the water again.

Looks like she needs a bit more ballast though.

Number 6 · « **Reply #92 on:** August 17, 2011, 08:58:39 pm »

Yes, the ballast is going to be sorted for the next voyage, only place can test is down at the lake though. Dave.

6705russell · « **Reply #93 on:** August 17, 2011, 08:58:58 pm »

And a bit more sealer Mike!

That's a great looking boat! Top job for the restoration.

Russ, what happened with the tamar!? I was following the build but havent been on the site regularly until recently. What you building now (HMW Clyde in 1\48th or something else? Linky to the build

)

6705russell · « **Reply #96 on:** August 23, 2011, 06:45:56 am »

The Tamar was sold onto someone else to finish, in the middle of a tug build at the minute but will be starting on a Speedline Severn shortly....
