I'm at my Dad's house for Christmas break so it's time to build another model boat this one is going to be different it's going to have all the curves and bracing of a real boat unlike my previous models that made all straight sides and rakes. This one is going to be a 1/15 scale model of a 2084 made out of 3/16 aluminum, with a 102" beam, 30" sides, a 75" rake. I picked up $35 worth of model aircraft wood today from a local hobby shop the main hull is going to be made of 1/64 plywood. Other than the hull specs I don't know for sure if it's going to be a kicker, fan, or dull mud motors. I'm also not sure on the floor plan besides a raised deck and whether I'm going to do cat walks or a deck over. I'm open to seggestions guys.

I love a poling platform and don't see myself ever having another boat without one. It also serves as a genny rack and has rod holders for trolling.

The funky chipmuck is going to look similar to how you had it set up but I've looked into motorizing them the only way to do it. Without it costing a couple hundred bucks is to gut an rc boat from like walmart I went into an rc shop to see what it would cost me and it was to expensive
