Mystery Boat-Rewind.

[ajferkovich]

I'll try to stump you experts again. The last one was way too easy. At least for Umi.

Clue #1.

[Aerominded]

Hummm... Looks like an older boat...

[Predreadnut]

sailboat rudder?

[der kapitan]

Jerkovitch, It appears as it's a rudder for some old English design---. ;)

But based on virtually no information, who cares---? :rolleyes:

[Kmot]

lol...

[der kapitan]

lol...
Tom, you're right on that, what's the point if nobody knows or cares? ;)

If I need a brain-teaser, I'll do the New York Times crossword---. :)

That takes me about 40 minutes, and is a lot more definitive---. :D

[avidjeepr]

It says clue #1 by the picture, Let's see clues two,three and four in the next post.

[keith S]

older steam style rudder

[toesup]

I'm guessing its a rudder off of a boat... :p

..also, your carpet needs a vacuum... and whoever put the carpet down didnt do a good job!.. :p:p:p

[Aerominded]

Aw come on guys! :)

P.S. that carpet is MUCH cleaner than the carpet under my workbench! ;)

[der kapitan]

Aero, you actually have CARPET in your shop---? :eek:

I have problems with keeping the CONCRETE clean in mine---. :D

[nick_75au]

What concrete, Im not even sure my floor in the workshop is concrete I haven't seen it for a while :eek: :D

[Aerominded]

Aero, you actually have CARPET in your shop---? :eek:

I have problems with keeping the CONCRETE clean in mine---. :D

Hee hee, just a rug... over a laminate floor... Before I 'rebuilt' my shop, it had wall to wall carpeting... impossible to keep clean... :eek:



Back to the rudder, I think it is for a side wheeler steam tug- ;)

[ajferkovich]

Clue #2
P.S. When I went to school we ceased being amused by making fun of peoples names by the time we got to the 7th grade. I was quite surprised to learn we may still have a 6th grader or two in this forum.For those of you who are concerned about my work environment, that is not the floor of my shop, it is my work bench.

[avidjeepr]

O.K. I think it might be,,,

[Captain Bill]

Is it a dive plane for a sub? :confused:

[arrow5]

A paddle stirrer for mixing-up half a cup of epoxy ? :o

Ooops! It's FERKOVITCH---. sorry, read it too fast---. :o

Clue #1.

Clue #3

[ajferkovich]

Clue #5

[Aerominded]

Now THAT is a cute engine! :)

Hummm... old twin screw... single rudder... I see ports in the side of the hull... thinking ship, not boat...

[ajferkovich]

OK, back to the subject at hand. But now no more build pics, only the finished product.

One clue a week till someone gets it.

[Jerome Morris]

British tug.......Imara?

[trawlerlover]

I was quite surprised to learn we may still have a 6th grader or two in this forum.

Yep, 7th grade now but close enough. :p Unfortunately it's very hard to find anyone my age building boats. :(

[patmat2350]

British tug.......Imara?

You're just a B-17 flight away!

Andy, where are the awning stanchions?

[Predreadnut]

German Yacht Scharnhorn?

[ajferkovich]

We have a winner!!!
Congrats to PREDREADNUT!! BIG HAND-CLAP CLAP.
Thanks to all of you who took part.

I will be more tough in the next one.

PS It's a Caldercraft kit.

[patmat2350]

Dang, Andy, you do find some nice kits along the way...

[Predreadnut]

Thank ya...thankya verrry much. This is a very nice looking steam yacht, its one of my favorites. Still, with what I had to work with, it was about 45% guess. :)

PS Looks like the ships boats are nice kits themselves.

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

Very nicely done ajferkovich.
And how would you review this kit and its assembly for
others that may be interested in it as a build for themselves?

:)
