new build

[fouldsy67]

Hi all
to start with im new to paddle wheelers i have built a couple of speed boats so this build in going to be a whole new thing for me
So my plan is to scratch build my own design its going to be approx 600mm long side wheels mounted around 1/3 rd from the front, rear rudder for extra movability the drive motors i was thinking 6v 1/8 scale tank drives driving 2   150mm 12 blades 50mm wide 20mm deep if this makes sence
the rear 2/3rds will be for cargo ( think of a mordern tug boat with paddles)

so there will be lots of questions coming

the hull will be flat bottom drawing around 30mm water as the lake im hopind to sail on is full of weed and normal boats get stuck in the weed so this should be a nice compromise
