Day 35

Here we need to do a modification. The stern of the hull has an angle to it and the outboard has to be vertical. I Have made an adaption from Tufnell to make it sit upright. I have used Tufnell as it is strong and this is a high powered outboard motor and I wouldn't want it to tear off the hull.

Day 37

Having finished the stern conversion and waiting for paint to dry ( several times) I sit there and try to think of things to scratch build and add. I came up with a Clipboard, Document Holder, CO2 Extinguisher and a Flood light. Time well spent I recon.

Day 38

A bit of excitement. Your first glance at the power end. The top most powerful outboard on the market. Too powerful for this boat when turning but will be amazing in straight lines lol.

Day 39

I have had to construct a good rigid mount for the servo at the rear. You will see I used Tufnell again for this and added steel pegs to go through the deck.
