Some time ago I completed construction of 3/4" scale Maine lobster boat. This was not a kit. I built it from copies of the original boat builders plans. I started a second one but only got as far as completing the hull. As I am no longer able to carry on my work I am looking for a successor.
I am willing to turn over my unfinished work together with the form over which the hull was molded, miscellaneous precut pieces, builder's manual and plans.. I am also willing to do some tutoring on its construction.
Although a lot of my work was done in my garage I also utilized my Woodworkers Club membership for ripping the planking, decking and ribs.
I want someone who is serious about this project and is willing to keep me informed of his/her progress.
If you or someone you know would be interested in learning more PM me.
BTW, this is not a working model although I daresay it could be adapted for RC boating.

I wish I could help. I have a piece of art that depicts the progression of Maine lobster boats. Unfortunately I have none of the skills required. Perhaps it's because I'm from Standish which is slightly inland.

I certainly respect your skill and wish you well and good health. As my mother used to say....Ayuh, Ayuh! (The latter one done as a backdraft)

You are one of a very few people who know how to properly use that expression.
