It may be a dum question but why has it got a huge hole in it at the back? ???
Other than that it looks good, need to try and get some pix up of my handy work.

Hi fludey,

If you pronounce your name floody? that almost answers your question.

It is a flood chamber, which enables the boat to self right if it flips.
