Hi tugs62
I also like to buy very old tatty boats and refurb them.
Bought a Aerokits Sea Commander off ebay, took a couple of years in between other boat projects but looking a million dollars now, better that when I bought her.
You are doing a great job on your RAF Crash Tender, looks like its  an Aerokits?
Is she the 34" like I have or is she the 46" version.
Looking to buy a Kingston 46" RAF Crash Tender Hull in the next couple of weeks. Going to have a couple of brushless motors like my Hunstman as.
Looking forward to more pics of your build.
Regards
