Two Reclaimed Ebay boats, both running same setup Johnson 600 with 2.5:1 reduction Gear Boxes 45mm Brass props and 7.2Volt NiMh power.

My Dads boat on the dam at our opening launch, with minI on board camera after many years

Small mtb produced from a kit, on the water with my grandson. Free running and comes complete with all running gear.

HI This is a Celia, I think, it was a caldercraft kit but am not sure. it is running on a 545 motor at either 6volt or 7.2volt with a 35mm 3blade brass prop. its performance is about right for the scale and type of boat. it sails at the Lake used by the Cwmbran Club. I bought it last year at the Shepton Mallet Show.

In 1963/64 my father built a 34" Fireboat for me. Being only about 12 the job was a little above my knowledge or expertise. Another chap in my class at school had the same boat but rigged as a Fireboat. So I wanted something different.My boat was painted Red.White and Black. When I migrated to Australia I sold the boat about 1970.Earlier this year I had an article published in a Melbourne newspaper saying I was looking to repurchase the boat I had sold 40 years ago. Although I was unable to get my boat, someone had a fireboat that had been sitting around for years.After purchasing the boat, I restored it to the same colours etc that I had had 40 years ago. Thereby naming it Phoenix.

HI has anyone any idea's as to what class this boat is..thanks Stan.

A recent purchase from a buy and sell website, soon for restoration, (along with the rest!!!!!!)

This is pictures of the real boat in action. As soon as I get the outboards for the model it will be operational.It also flows water out of the deck gun.

I have just completed this model - just waiting for the new prop to arrive along with a flag for the main mast, plus handrail staunchions. it was a Precedent all wood kit and not too Impressed with the materials but you only get what you pay for. I have fitted a Graupner 700 Speed Turbo and a Torpedo 50 Amp ESC. I am powering it with 2 6 volt SLA's wired in series. Overall I think it has turned out not too bad and it seemed to get better the more I worked on it (or is that psychlogical)Tested in the Marine testing laboratory (white bath) and floats OK with no sign of a leak (fingers crossed). Our boating pond will be frozen over at the moment so no real testing can take place yet.

Finally finished the project. This boat was built from scratch. I took pictures and measurements from a real fireboat that I operate. I built it on a 1/12 scale using wood that I had left over from scrap. This was my first project boat. I was able to get a lot of technical information from this forum. So thanks guys. I have really fallen in love with boat model building. I have wired the boat and am waiting on two model electric outboards to mount on the transom. it took almost 6 months to complete. 🕊
