    small fishing boat (from scratch)

    i've just recently finished building this crab fishing boat from scratch using a fibreglass hull that is supossed to be a rowing boat, but i preferred a fishing boat, i took some ideas from the billings krab cutter cux 87, i only had one side on picture to work from, apart from the obvious plastic fittings i.e: lights , life belt etc, the rest is made from bits from the bits box , the cabin is balsa and stained in american walnut, the net frames are piano wire with end skids made from plasticard, the deck is on old caravan seat base painted with tufcoat, the nets are bath scrunges,she is powered by a 6 volt 4.5 amp gel cell running throu a bobs board to run a 400 motor , on 27 mhz, 26" long 10" wide, and looks good on the water , next time i go up the pond will take some pics,

      Best of luck down at the pond and look forward to seeing some more pictures. :terrific: :clap_1:
