Built from a kitishack kit 56" it runs on two Hobby King 750kv brushless motors I used brake pipe to make the motor cooling coils two 200a water cooled esc,s, I got the 5mm shafts & 42mm brass props and couplings from SHG models the power is supplied via two 14.8v lipos this is a really powerful boat

This was my first Coble now sailing up the coast on the Druridge bay country park lake runs on a Johnson 600 motor powered by a 3c lipo

it is ready to send to my pal in Scotland for him to finish
I have put a 10" shaft & a 42mm prop in with a Johnson 600 motor all the seats & rudder are made for him to fit along with the dodger that I am busy making for him, I will be starting another soon the planks & transom are cut ready to assemble on the jig

I bought the hull from a friend who moulds them then built it from pictures I had taken of the actual boat in Blyth harbour it runs on a Graupner 700bb motor 12v battery Robbe Fixed Kort Nozzle with Rudder & 60 mm Propeller lights on a separate 6v battery & figures from Adrian Clutterbuck
