hello to all. Sorry I can not get pics for you to see. As i have not master how to send pics yet. As i said in last post she was built using two hulls and then deck over.For the hulls i used old cut down bed boards 3 for each hull with blocks of wood cut to size for each end.The deck was made form a sheet thin ply 3/16 with the middle cut out for the wheel, motor and gears The deck house was made of balsa wood with a stairway set at the fore would end to aloud passengers on to the top deck. Mast and rudder wheel in front of deck house a smell bowstipe was fitted, the deck was then covered with mahogany strips then sanded and varnish. Sides were fitted round the whole boat and painted. I have had her in the water with lets say mixed results, but some work on the wheel housing gearing has done the job hope you find this of interest.
