Well, after several delays, health issues and just plain didn't want to do it, I am back on Darby. I was going to make the belt drives, but it just wasn't worth it so I ordered a couple.
Once they are here, I can get on with some stuff.
The deck crane is ordered.
Bow thruster ... this boat is 45" long and will weigh 65lbs or so ... what size will I need? Pipe diameter and motor size? Roebesh seems good but some reports say they break a lot and are under powered. I always fancied making one but I have no idea of size.
I will be doing a winch as well ... double drum I think.
Mare in a bit.
