Mine is a double prop. Lake Union Dream Boat. I found the bulkheads design on the internet and went from there. I assemble the odd bits as I go along. I just ordered the rudders/stuffing box/port windows this week. Next week I will get the two motors/ESC/battery.
Dumas is a large manufacture of boats to build. Here are some links you will like:

I have spoken to Frank a few times. Great guy and has the answers to what you have questions for. I purchased a lot of running gear from here.

I ordered my two drive shafts and stuffing box here.
I'm thinking of this one next or a steam launch:

Search the net for model boat plans. This is what I did. Printed the plans and enlarged them on a printer to a 1:12 ration. My boat is 34 inches long. I then got a bunch of pictures of the Lake Union. It's coming along nicely.
