K The Krause lie for today is the one where he tries to say that he can claim he "owns" a boat if he just goes out on a boat. Just as he used to email pics around the NG contributors but always on a "charter" boat!!! This lying idiot then claims that's because he learns more about fishing in his bay:-) One has to own something to use it? Hmmm. My bride drives off in her car every day, but she doesn't own it. I'm not crabby. You asked for advice I gave you some. I questioned your wanting to take a very small boat out into high seas and suddenly you turned sour. It's your pot; you are the one stewing in it. No, it is the boat of a friend. It is a 24' ProLine center console with, if I recall, a 225 hp Merc on it. It was a dark and stormy day in January (1997) when we went out, but the sky cleared once we got out to the Gulf Stream. Bride and I caught and released: 1 white marlin 12-15 yellowtail snappers, maybe two pounds each. Pretty, pretty fish. Assorted red snappers 1 amberjack 2 jack crevalle jacks 1 snook Nondescript sharks |

I've been building tall ships from kits for about 18 years, but never had the nerve to try one from scratch. Obviously, you've had some training in model making. Happy boating, Norm |
It is powered by an elec motor and is radio controlled. 1/12 scale, 31"
long. I built it to have something to do while hanging around the marina in the evening.Ive built gas powered boats from kits as a kid and rarely worked with fibreglass before. I started with a 2 chunks of blue insulation foam. One for top and one for the hull. I shaped them using a few measurements I had taken,and alot of digital pics of various locations on my boat. Then I made a mold using the foam i had carved,and plaster of paris. I laid the fibreglass into the plaster molds and it popped out of the mold with only a few patch repairs to make. I didnt think it would turn out as it did,, there were a few times I was ready to toss it out this winter. The windshield is molded in my kitchen oven using a mold I made. The seats are all vynal and sewen by my wife. The paint is the same as the real boat as is the canvas top material. The railings are all made of wire and brazed together(never brazed before either).This is version 10 of the railing,, I found it very difficult to get right.The Radar arc is removable to easily access the radio control box. I have no idea how she is going to perform on the water. I DO know that she floats. I tested it out in my hottub if you can believe that..lol Still loads of ice on the lakes here, might be a few weeks yet... I am quite anxious to see how she performs. Power wont be an issue I have already determined :-) Ill let you know how it all works out, Hoping to get alot of pictures of the 2 boats together.
