I don’t plan to do a build log; I’ll just post some building progress photos in a couple of postings.
I bought this hull on the Stateside RC Forums site from a fellow whose name I have long since forgotten. This Greg Hiltz hull sat on my shelf for many years before I finally decided to build it. It came with most accessories the gent had purchased from top shelf vendors.

Deck framing & running gear arrangement. Deck openings for access points.

👍👍

Continuing the details..

Thank you Razor. It’s not that I am so quick. I recently completed this build & am merely posting some pics of steps involved.
More details. Added pulpit to enable skipper to harpoon swordfish or giant tuna if lobster fishing slows down. Thus “PHASE CHANGE”.

Thank you Len & Cash. I appreciate your kind comments.
Graphics in place & automation completed. My first venture into sound, motion, & lights. Nothing unusual for most but it was a great learning experience for me. Already retrofitting some previous builds.

Hmmm! Can’t seem to load video.

Well okay then. Here is the video. My guess is it was a total file size issue for an individual post.

Too optimistic. I’ll have to tend to it later.

Seems to be working now. Just have to give it a bit of time to load.

Two photos today from Maine.
