Nice boat, but I am really impressed with the water tank, what an ingenious use of an old gas canister.

Thanks Bernhard, you have just resolved a problem that I have with my big tug  :-))

very nice plant and very nice hull build but the water tank if full will make it like a drunken sco* I would have thought.
