Miss Unlimited by 14Boats - Dumas - 36”


Recommended Posts

hi! I Just started a model to pass some time. I thought I’d share some photos of the build. 
 

this is a old kit from eBay I found.    I started searching for kit that would match a vintage gas water cooled motor that needed a place to sit
 

I doubt I’ll ever run it but I’d like to build it like I would.   I was thrilled to see other builds on here based on this kit and have used them to help me along.  I decided to share my adventure in a photo journal.  I have mistakes in early pictures but have corrected them and moved on.   That’s a whole different story

 

Im on day two and I can say this kit has helped me and entertained me 10x over the investment cost. Bang for the buck here is off the chart.  Kid at heart.  Only missing one here to share it with first hand.  I Highly recommend some ship building in these times

 

this is a vintage kit from the ‘70’s but still on Dumas Boats Website.

View without the “weights” and another angle.   I get the feeling I still have a long way to go.   
 

im off to do honey do list while the glue sets fully.  I’ve been in the garage far too long, I hear. 
 

Lastly .... side note. the Nitro motor is a huge mystery. But it and the prop shaft appear to be a perfect fit

Nice start on your build.  Looks like the kit is in good shape considering its age.  Should be a beauty once finished.

I am using the boat as a form before gluing down the decking or finishing out the sponsons.  I’ll have some more clamping options and power to hold the correct shape.  
 

I am Just going to let some natural moisture from the rain / snow moving in do the work for me.  This maybe the last appearance of the pew pew weights. They have other duties on the books after getting dusted off
