Currently measuring the amount of snow outside in feet, counting the degrees on one hand (or less), and the nearest open water is in the dog's water dish...
Soooo, in past winters I've rebuilt a boat, or maybe a motor or three, but this winter I decided to build a boat - in 1/6 scale. It is a 1950s style outboard runabout, loosely based on the "Meteor", a plan from an old boat building magazine. I think it's available at svensons.com. It measures about 24-inches long and will be powered by an Aquacraft EP1 outboard motor. Should do 10-12 mph, which is a pretty good scale speed.
