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.

That's easy, just send the photos to me at eddy.matthews@paddleducks.co.uk (it's a 500mb inbox) and I'll add them to the post.

Eddy
