I bought this many years ago from someone that decided he was too old to carry this big a boat to the pond. I never did anything with it. It has both rudders and all 4 propeller shafts installed. Decks with magnets and a basic superstructure. Construction is 3/8 inch plywood ribs on 3 inch spacing. I'm in the North Bay in Santa Rosa if someone wants it.
I contacted the seller a while back. The ship went pretty fast. I see you are from Hollister. Have you contacted anyone from Western Warship Combat Club? Their pond is just over the hill in Watsonville. See https://www.westernwarshipcombat.com/
