    Lovely job and thank you for pictures, I have considered this as my next build but have not made my mind up yet.
    Glad to see that someone else's work area is as 'busy' as mine!

    Hi RNin Munich

    Agreed the build plans were slightly all over the place and some wrong identifying codes were incorrect, one main one being the skins.

    The next build is underway a Police Launch and then the Pilot Boat ( Christmas Presents).

    Maiden Voyage will happen once we are out of Lockdown.🙄

    Just something I learn't the hard way Glues can say waterproof meanwhile they are water resistant! Try and get what is known as a TDS ( Technical Data Sheet) from the manufacturer. People forget what you get in the UK you can't find in other countries ( Bean there and learn't)
    Titebond is not very available in SA

    Well, that's a very important lesson you've learnt ToraDog🤔, and the hard way at that. Always read what it says on the bottle.

    Cheers, Nerys

    Excellent result UncleT👍
    I must admit that I was a bit surprised at the hull build sequence in places.
    But I guess that just proves again that 'All roads lead to Rome'😉
    Alls well that ends very well.
    Looking forward to the Maiden video👍 and the next Build😊
    Stay SAFE, cheers, Doug 😎

    Aw sh...........ucks!😭
    A word to the wise - next time first float / leak / balance test in the Domestic Test Tank, with no electronics on board!😉 I trust your second boat was a resounding success👍
    Stay safe, cheers, Doug 😎

    A wonderful job! If only I had....

    My first build, a Dumas 33" PT 109 did not turn out that well. With little to no guidance, I was on my own.I did ok, but when I put her in the water first time I learned that Elmer's white glue was not waterproof. Needless to say, my planking straightened out some quick, as it headed to the bottom.
    You will not be seeing that on your build. Bravo Zulu.
