            thanks , well as this is only a small boat with cost in mind I only used balsa and thin bass wood. No ply was used in the construction.

            The deck was made out of single pc of 6 mm balsa cut and sand down to shape. As the deck is not "flat"

                this little boat is not too difficult , as it is design with beginner in mind. The difficulty is to get all the building materials. As there is no LHS that sells parts for small boat ...... Hence everything go to DIY, from rudder to stuff tube ..... even everything on the deck like windscreen too

                for those who are interested here are some of the construction pics.

                hull :

                    The rudder was made of push rod, servo horn and scrap plastic. The stuff tube was made of carbon and alu tube.

                        all in before the paint job, the windscreen is made of cd casing plastic ..... I didnt use the back windscreen as I felt it looks batter that way

                        finally all the paints on ...... 60% of the time is watching the paint to dry

                          how big is that boat?
                          care to share what is the power setup?

                          anyway, the seat seem very comfortable..

                            thanks

                            overall length of the boat is about 13 inch ..... kind of small but easy for transport and storage.

                            As the boat is small so for the power too. Using only 140 motor on 2s lipo and program throttle max out at 50%. Boat too small lar dont need 100% power from the small motor

                            hehe u are not the first one told me the seat looks comfortable
