    A Serious Question About 3D Printing

    Thank you Dave for taking the time to check for me. The B/W picture looks similar to what I'm after. The old floats were made of plywood and were curved on the tops with the ribbing and flat on the bottom. They were two-stepped like the picture, but didn't have the steering fin on the rear. Here...

    A Serious Question About 3D Printing
