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.

Are you going too paint a name on the bow?

Watch out! your battery cables are going to rub against your drive shaft

. And if you know how to solder. I'd replace the tamiya plugs w/ deans plugs. I spent friday replacing mine. (I melted the tamiya ones

)

So when are we going sailing?
