Enough Already, Boat Building Time!

[TomMoorehouse]

Ok, the shop is close enough to being done. I need to start building boats!

This year 3 projects:

1) FireFighter .45 proto

2) FireFighter .18 proto

3) FireFighter .21 construction improvements (trying to please my customers)

The FireFighter .45 is the big project:

The FireFighter .18 is designed to be my next generation small block boat. It is a little bigger than the ff12 but should be lighter and able to handle more power.

Watch the gallery to see my progress:

Wow - the 45 looks great in wood! Plans are 1 thing, but seeing it for real makes a big difference.

I wonder what I have to do to get one of them? The 21 is lonely and needs a big brother B)

OS .18 get my attention..... yep sure did. but it will also be for the new hot .12's i designed the ff12 before those hot .12's were really available.

what about the blazin 12 Tom?

Tom,

Excellent! (said in Mr. Burns voice) How soon do you think?

Looks like I have a line on an engine until the RPM45 is ready and I am really eager to get a 45 rigger happening (that class is really competitive in my club!)

I can forsee some late nights in the workshop for me in the near future!

Tim.

Looks awesome Tom. I can see your kits share the same great quality.

How are the instructions coming along. I am finding the ff.12 instructions a wee bit vague for a first time rigger project. Otherwise very pleased.

just let me know where you get confused and I will add to them. the ff12 was my first kit so i'm progressively getting better. you can read the ff21 directions (on the website) as they build almost identically and the ff21's i believe are a lot more complete.

Ive just started on the .45 instructions.... hope they are the best yet! each one i do should get better.

Blazzin .12 ummm mine sits 90% completed. it's on hold for now I guess..... maybe ill make it a free plan?

Hmmm a 45 sounds toooo good tom.

Looking good.
