Here is hull #2 from the layup to running. It's pretty quick. I'm starting on the next one this week for a guy in Michigan.

Very cool! If I tried to operate one of those my boat would be cutting grass or in the trees!
I guess you could say we're in the same church, just a different pew.
I run a couple of slow scale boats around our pond pretty regularly. The advantage of slow is more time to react in a smaller pond, and I need all the time I can get!
