Thanks for getting into this kit - I've always wondered if it was based on an actual boat; looks like it will need some big changes to represent the real thing (and I'll probably do the wood with paint on the deck and paint the hull white anyway).

About the engine: Is that a Chrysler flathead 6, and if so could the 1941 Plymouth engine be used for more detail?

That already looks like a cool kit but you just take em' to another level. Love how your doing all that wood work. Any chance we can get a photo of all the boats? Or if there are other build pages just point me in the right direction. Awesome build, can't wait to see it on the trailer behind the car.

The engine is a Cris Craft 6 cyl. it's in the box. Even with orginalengine it's VERY tight in the motorcompartment.

This is the first boat , in mahoganyveneer and two Cadillac engines. The trailer with real wood inlays and the car built from a resinbody. I cut out the sides and replace it with mahoganywood. Some pictures of how it's made ............

Awesome work on that boat. The hull in the Hemi Hydro kit scales out to about 1/20th scale along with the trailer.
