keel painted finaly #2
 

Guys 4 more things to do before getting wet.

1. Fit the cockpit windows
2. repaint the deck
3. fit the electronics
4. The fittings ( I may launch it first and then put on the fittings)


I am going to deal with the windows and the deck today
and then I will have to find an idea on how to prevent the motor from moving around itself.

Cockpit windows done. in two hours I will start painting the deck.

Still waiting impatiently :D

I know but I also need to wait for the glue to dry before I start painting
The good thing is that because I am painting it at evening it will have dried 'till next morning so when I get up I can start work on the electrics.

Deck repaint done.
first thing tommorow : electronics.

Pics. :DL

well I think it would be better to take some pics after I remove the tape and the newspapers.

Any more progress :hmmm:

Finally the boat got wet (in the tub for tests) and it didn't go well (:damn:).
there were leaks at the point were the shaft goes through the hull.

leaks in the battery compartment
 

Nice boat !!!

"Bravo" for your great (and fine) work, convoy hunter.

But it's maybe largely time to replace your bath-tub with a swimming pool ... :D

yes I thought that too. but the local lake is by far better than a swimming pool.

Nice to see it wet at last, just on the outside would've been better though. ;)

Keep it up!

still leaking today.:damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:
We will see tommorow if the leaks will stop.

You need a silicone shaft seal...measure the dimater of your propellor shaft and purchase one from your local hobby shop.

leaks fixed today and a floatation test has been completed just now and I am here to tell you that it is NOT LEAKING ANYMORE!!!!!!:woot:

:woot::woot::woot:


Get it on the lake, quick! :D
