Thank you. It is a relaxing hobby. As a kid I could only dream about building such a boat. Lacking money being the issue. Now that I can afford to build one it is time. Plus, the power of the internet in getting electronics, information and ideas. The internet is invaluable truth be told.

Very nice hobbie ... lots of love

Is this for the Chesapeke Bay or a smaller body of water?

I live on peninsula. Marley and Furnace Creeks surround me. These feed the Chesapeake Bay. I will put her in on Marley Creek. Best stick to the coast creeks with this one.

Time for the domestic cleansing basin aka the bathtub test float. She sits level with battery included. Much of what she is getting is already aboard. She sits a bit high in the water. I will add weight (lead) after her first test run on the water.
