Hi All
Building my first strip plank boat !!!
Side on looks the same as the Eileen and Hellen Fishing Boats, but with a lot more beam(same length ).
As it has a raised area forward of the wheelhouse and a larger hatch, it will have better access into the hull.
Ordered a Raboesch 60mm 3 blade prop, HPI Rock Crawler 55 Turn motor( only running on 40% throttle on 2S Lipo battery).
This is the same setup as in my two Hellen boats.
Also ordered from Hobbyking a Hobbywing Quicrun 60Amp ESC( these have links for battery setup and NO BRAKE).
Straight forward and reverse( no stopping on changing direction).

Hi All
Using Ikea wooden blind for planking, better than balsa, cheaper, stronger and steams well for bending.
