Wow this thread has exploded since I last checked, UhHum...that may have been some time ago
.
I started building a motorflote back when I was a kid shortly after the plans were in Model Boats magazine.
But unfortunately i never finished it...
I have however started again last year, and am making good progress.
I'm bigger now, so thought I'd make the tug bigger too, so I blown it up slightly (1.5x)
I will start a build blog at some point, but have just restarted the project now the evenings are warmer.
Just working on the hull, specifically the skids at present.
I have the nozzle done, and have just modified the hull (reluctantly), so it may have some aft thrust.
But here is a basic shot of it so far.
It's made of 1/4 & 1/8 ply with spruce batons. But I'll get some more photos up on my own thread shortly.
Nice to see some other interest in the Motorflote as there is not a lot out there about it.
