Cool there Bigford!
Kinda' a regular bow, from say the 60's, and flipped upside!!

Look's good!

Looks like a project there!
Of interest perhaps - I have one of those units in a small dozer boat - the shaft split and had a horrible time replacing it. You might want to look at the Graupner units - they may be a little more robust.

We must have the same tastes in marine design....

 

What scale are you building?

[bigford]

orca-ish scale  i'm going to build it off the middle rotterdam
frames and fudge the rest. useing the pics from your r/c group

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

Well If I had to guess, it currently looks to be about 30 "..
Maybe 1:124 to 1:116  scale.. 
Your gonna fall short a drive too. 
Of course you can claim that steerable bow drive is in the
retracted position.

Hi guys,

Bigford - I am planning a build of my own design version of this next, I look forward to seeing how you get on.
