This little number was gonna be an ebay bargain but it looks like its gonna be a bit of work before im there i used to own one a few years ago . it looks like someone was going to try and fit another type of motor and running set up but has given up after cutting it out and attaching a few bits of wood so im gonna try and get her back to her original set up {:-{ i have a couple of pics of when i got it and a couple with the first bits of wood removed luckily i have a few bits of plasticard to re fabricate .

and after cutting the wood away from the stern it has left the plastic a bit of the worse for wear but with a bit of fabrication should bring it back to scratch

managed to get a bit more done today ive been cleaning off the araldite that has been used <:( luckily they tried to stick it straight together without using any scratch to give it a key so its nearly all just peeled off . once i get this all off ill contact the two halves back together then run beads of resin on the mating surfaces inside sealing it and making it hold together stronger

Ooooh! My kind of boat. I too have indulged in e.bay bargain madness and bought an Academy Supreme F1 It's an electric tunnel hull complete with outboard. I'll get round to it eventually. Good luck with this project it looks really good so far.
Plastic Fantastic!
