THE MODEL is 1/32nd scale, giving a length of around 36 inches and a beam of 10. It's fairly shallow-draft, as you can see, with two 50mm props. Everything from the deck up is based on the actual GA plans from Marine Industries, and the hull was built using free lines for a dutch ocean tug, heavily modified to fit the curves of the smaller vessel. The actual lines plans are not around anymore and the stern area is quite complicated with built in Kort Nozzles.
Ballast chambers in the rear hold steel powder, the rest is taken up by two 7AH batteries
I wanted a cooling system, so i put one in. It's completely unnecessary but it adds a bit of life to the model. 12v BMW pump running off 3v, near silent, worked like a charm in bathtub trials
