Mantua mississippI steam boat

Bought this part built with prop propulsion . but Im converting it to paddle power.
im using a 600 motor with a 50/1 gearbox to power it , but I think I will have to change the setup as the noise is too loud ,even though it will
Eventually it will have a 'Dixi' sound system installed .

Gry Maritha

This boat looks the biz when its going full tilt , The bow wave looks awesome !!! Twin motors independently controlled ,turning circles pretty good for her size . Saying that , I do need to transport her by a sack cart ....lol

Looks very nice, I'm just about to start building mine, what battery and voltage did you use? Did you bother with a bow thruster. How was it to build

HI , sorry for the late reply , life keeps getting in the way ...lol. She has 12v system installed (she needs a lot of ballast so a 12v battery helps). she is running on 2x MFA motors at 6:1 ratio and 2 x viper marine 20's each running separately.I haven't got round to fitting a bow thruster, A nice boat to build and you can do a little or alot to her , I have seen some with operating cargo doors and cranes,(a bit to involved for me )
She does weigh alot when finished, I purchased a sack cart and manufactured a cradle to transport her.
It would be nice if you open a blog so we can see the build ........Take care..............................................Les

Another crash tender

Built this in early 70's . I couldn't at that time afford rc or an engine so it was a display model until around 2000.
Now, one of 18...............I'm going to have to stop , or get a bigger house ......

This is the first post Iv put on any site so ......here goes.
I have 18 boats ..................Yes 18 , and Im still married lol !
Love this boat , just going through a re fit , power wise etc,
just was not powerful enough. and too clean .
so decided to try my hand at weathering .
a bit daunting building something "pristine '' ish
then trying to make it better by roughing it up .

What is the length of this model? I am still engaged in flying scale WW1 airplanes at 83, but I can see me getting back to my Bristol Pilot Cutter and Clyde Puffer.
