Something "COMPLETELY DIFFERENT"

[modelman]

Thor-thanks for the comments-actually this is not a "cat".A catamaran is larger and has higher freeboard and runs offshore. These boats are known as OPC (outboard performance craft) tunnel hulls. They are lite-weight sprint boats that run on relatively calm inland waterways and lakes. The entire model is sheeted with the same plwood but I had to paint the top to be like the real boat. I coated the model with 2 coats of "west" epoxy to seal the wood then applied the color an coated the entire boat with clear urethane.
Joe-thanks, I was involved in setting world records with the full size boats and with the R/C boats. I think I am the only person to hold records in all 3 boating organizations (APBA-NAMBA-IMPBA). Don't mean to brag but I am quite proud of these accomplishments. I found something I could do pretty well on water and stuck with it for 25+ years!
