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.

"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:

Ok guys, I planned to go at the local pond this sunday. There I should begin sea trials for the boat. I will make sure to post a good video about it.:salute:
