Looking F.A.B. flimzy and the smoke makes it even better Are you eager to see it float?

 

[flimzy]

Yes need to take it to the lake before filming because I’m sure I won’t be as lucky this time and it will need ballast.

I was struggling with the attachment of the exhaust because it has to be detachable yet strong. Finally worked it out.

 

[ID10T]

That looks awesome.

 

[joberg]

Yep, a lot of accessories in that boat Btw, the first pic of Dreyfus sitting at the table and the reflections of the light into the window glass makes it real

So paddle pool test , amazing she floats exactly at the right water line as she should, it’s a miracle.
But the bad news she leaked, I pulled her out then remembered I had put some screw mounts in the keel for a rig I might make , I hadn’t put screws in to fill the holes. So I dried her out and I’m testing her now for a hour to see if that fixed the problem

So awesome. And that kiddie pool is the best (making me laugh, and I'm not sure why).

 

[ID10T]

"we're gonna need a bigger pool."

Love it...and she didn't sink Great pic of the cat examining the whole thing: "Should I board, or...not?"
