Well done! In future, I am going to ship my personal boat hull kits to you for completion  :giggle:. You seem to be doing a better job than what I could/would have done  :thumbsup:. That Anti Termite treatment was a new one for me.

Applied PU Putty than NC Putty, then went to the nearest pond with a friend holding the hull riding pillion with me on my bike and found many villagers bathing there, heaved a sigh of relief and let the creation touch water for the first time...It felt like a baby taking his/her first steps!  ;D

Dear Roopesh Sir,
                       I am waiting for the rudder operation idea of yours using a 9 gram servo. :bow:

Great! Now take her to a carpenter and ask him to cut out a deck sheet for you from 1mm Matt Sunmica. Just lay the boat hull up (upside down) on a sheet of Sunmica and let him take an impression on the sheet. He will use a chisel and a mallet (hammer) to cut out the deck sheet. Make sure that he leaves a margin of 2 mm as he cuts it.

Also ask him to cut out the access hatch (just as you have done with the deck plans).

That being done, glue the Sunmica deck to the boat deck and sand the rough edges down. Ensure that the edges are NOT flush and leave a minimum of 1mm lip between the hull and the deck overhang. I will try and post some photos later today to explain what I am trying to say.

If I am not understood, please call me.

I partially understood your idea, what I understood is that I should cover up the deck with sunmica for good looks and still make the inner machinery accessible for future services.

Installed 3 blade 50mm diameter hobbyking boat prop and a rudder which is made by epoxying a piece of balsa to a 4mm rod from a meccano set. used brass tubing for holding prop stuff tube and rudder shaft. glued a 6 hole mecceno strip on the top deck for supporting and locking the position of the rudder tube to a perfect 90 deg. w.r.t. ground surface... the best propeller shaft angle I could get on this hull for a 50mm prop was about 20-25 deg. measured w.r.t. hull surface. I don't think this should be causing any problems. I had to drill a hole in the main centre bulkhead for inserting the stuff tube, will add a thick balsa reinforcement before sealing the hole with M Seal.

1st leakage test passed,

Next procedure in queue- 2nd leakage test by again visiting the nearest pond after sealing the prop shaft hole and rudder hole using M Seal.
