Working waterpump,Emergancy builg pump,Bowthruster, and Over 15 working lights and 4 spot lights, all working off 2, 6v batteries, and 1, 9.6v. ALL I GOTA SAY IS I AM HOOKED. I tip My hat To Dave Metcalf.
Very Nice Boat Too Build. I feel I am a master Modeler, Iv Built Cars, & Trucks Electric to Nitro. Evan Too Build a prototype Gas/nitro Race truck. This Boat put My skills too the Test, and I cant wate till I set sails. The Only thing I do regret is Not making The Crain to work. When I can, I will Post all My Pictures.

My hat off to Master chief "he" is building one hall of a boat. When he first showed me his boat I also loved it and it also got me hook on it as well so I did get one In the Aziz model. But watching him putting his boat together and how he is going about it. It is a great thing to watch and marvel at because he is about detail" so again Master Chief my Hat is off to you!!
PS. Stop changing the paint colors because I do not know if your boat float any more with that much paint on a boat.. ;D ;) ::) you will be sailing soon.
