Some are scratch built, some are kit built, some were bought and restored and a couple are store shelf finds. Takes about a year during my working days and about 7 months during my retirement days to build a scratch model. I just restore now, I think my scratch built days may be done. Costs over $400 just to build, then I need another $400 to put in all the running gear, sound modules, esc's and radio's etcFella's...I have been on a off modeling for 30 years.

- johnfMidshipmanWell done Brightwork.. Your kit built Commodore looks in pretty good condition - and in your care should be back on the water soon.Well done Brightwork.. Your kit built Commodore looks in pretty good condition - and in your care should be back on the water soon. Not many boats have two shafts and props these days. With just one central rudder you may find that it does not like turning at low speed very much. In this case you may consider converting to 2 or 3 rudders and\ or programming your transmitter (if possible) to give asymmetric thrust to help right turns. Good luck! Dr John F. Leeds and Bradford MBC. 😊😊😊

I guess that's why the original builder put the big black rudder keels on her. I will redo her interior cockpit in mahogany brightwork. I appreciate all the folks support here. It's nice to share.Dr. John...she will be getting twin rudder and new screws. May even change out the shafts, will see. I guess that's why the original builder put the big black rudder keels on her.
