Model Motor Boats - Being No. 2 of the Model Maker Series of Practical Handbooks Covering Every Phase of Model Building and Design - Edward W. Hobbs
CHAPTER I
PRACTICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some hints and advice that will help in the selection ofa model for any particular purpose.
THIS handbook is concerned solely with practical working models of motor boats intended for use on ponds or the sheltered waters of rivers and the seaside.
Such models to be successful must possess certain well defined characteristics. In the first place the hull must be large enough to accommodate suitable machinery to drive it; secondly, the boat must displace
sufficient water to enable it to carry the total weight of the complete boat; thirdly, the machinery must be of such type and power that it will drive the boat at the desired speed.
Above all the finished model must be good to look at; should represent some particular prototype
or real ship as, for example, the Cabin Cruiser Fig. 1; the River Launch, Fig. 2; or Motor Cruiser Fig. 3.
Fig. 1. Cabin Cruiser.
With almost negligible exceptions, these results can not be obtained by taking working drawings of a real ship and merely reducing them to the desired size for the model; in all cases it is essential that a working model be built to a thoroughly reliable design for a model boat possessing the characteristics and appearance of the chosen prototype.
Without going into advanced technicalities which would be quite out of place in this little book; it may be pointed out that a working model must be sufficiently high out of the water to prevent the waves washing over the deck and flooding the
