Bernd Starting to look good. One thing that you may want to keep in mind is that sometimes these boats flip over so may not present the same profile to the rescue boat. :lol: :lol: Cheers :beer: Don |

But the width dosen't change. Just the top to bottom. Trouble is I stall it more than flip it over. I take it easy in the turns until I get the feel of just how much I can push it. Bernd |

More progress to report on building my rescue boat. I've got the super structure done and started on designing the motor mounts. Here's a pic of the finished super structure. Here's what the finished motor holder will look like. First a wooden plug needs to be turned. The wooden plug and the PVC pipe that it fits into. This will keep from crushing the PVC pipe when tightened in the chuck. Next the inside of the PVC gets bored out for a snug fit of the motor. Test fitting the motor. Both motor holders bored out and the motors installed. Next the PVC pipe needs to get fastened to the wood so they can be mounted on the boat. Also a cover needs to be made for the end to bolt the motors into the PVC. That's next. That's it for now. I really need to get this done before April when we'll be back at The River. Bernd |
