Mini Tugboat

Hi everybody,
I am new here. I just sent for a set of plans for the Candu e-z mini tugboat. This will be my first official "boat" build, but I have built 2 hovercrafts in the past.

I have worked with plywood construction and fiberglass. It will be nice not having to be anal about weight for a change. EVERY THING on a hovercraft is all about is it "necessary" to add the weight to include that.

I am hoping to find somebody either building a mini Tugboat, or who already has. Maybe you could help me avoid some mistakes! lol

I am also hoping the plans get here by this weekend so I can get started. Looking forward to comments or any suggestions you may have.

Hi

You will find several threads about mini tugboats with the forum search.

This came to my mind first.

Hi Nita,
I have done some youtube videos of my build so far. Actually, I am uploading part II as I type this. I am from near Canton, Ohio right along I-77. Good luck with your build and keep in touch.
