Title: Build number 8 for 2021
Post by: Andyn on July 18, 2021, 03:46:48 pm
I can finally let the cat out the bag on this one - my eighth completed boat of 2021 is another for someone else.


I'm sure in every club there's one person who stands out as the one who helps everyone, and in ours no-one's IC boat would work properly (if at all) without the input from one particular person. He's fallen on harder times than most the last year, so we decided to give something back. This boat was built by myself with parts from everyone in our group, and presented to him for his birthday today. Seemed rather happy with it!


It's a GPL 1000, which those who have seen the IC demo at Wicksteed a couple of years back will recognise the hull, there's around a dozen of them in our club. Power comes from an ASP 61. I built and painted the boat to match his petrol powered Patriot, with colour matched 2k paint and matching vinyl lettering.
