This is my first boat kit apart from a couple of Springers and a coal barge and would not have been completed without all the help from fellow Mayhemers, so thank you all for replies to my queries over the past 18 months, :-)) yes it has taken me that long.
The boat is the Graemsey it is powered by 2x555motors running on 12v jel cells and a Monotronics ESC, there are running lights, Wheelhouse and Saloon lights, deck working lights and search lights controlled with and Action P62 Quadswitch, there is a working ramp coupled with a warning buzzer, lights and ramp working off two small 12v jell cells.
The radio is a Futaba 2.4 six channel
Sunday was it's first taste of water, it performed very well considering the conditions where quite rough
Here are a few photos, thanks in part to my official photographer boatmadman :D
No comments about swine flue thank you {-)

Is a swine flue a b****r to sweep? :-)
BTW I reckon Miss Piggie's pen needs a net over it otherwise she'll be over the side and swimming for it in no time :-)
Smashing looking boat BTW

Took me ages to upload those photos and Iv still managed to muck it up <:(

Nonsense Alan , you have done a great job with the model and the photos of her on the water look great too .
Do you have any problems with water ingress over the stern , mine used to wash over the decks from gaps in the door sides .

Hi Daz, no water ingress, which was a surprise as it was a rough day and the decks seemed to be awash most of the time, I was well chuffed when I didn't have to get the stirrup pump out :}

How long is the voyage going to be? Or is the pig just a bit of cargo?
-
Just a short one Bryan, the pork, sorry pigs are over the ESC so if it does burn out it will at least smell nice :-))
Alan

Nice job "trotting" along well on the water, congratulations {-)
-
Looks great Alan, put some apple sauce along side in case the ESC does burn out, yummy with pork. :-))
-

Great job, AlanP, you should be proud of it :-)) :-))

If a springer carries a cargo of pigs, would it becoem a 'stringer'? was that joke to 'rash'? 'Back' to a drawing board, eh? <:(

Are you casting aspersions at my springers or my pigs <*<
