Wooden Motor Launch (Model) Buoy

thingiverse

<h1>Floating Marker Buoy</h1> My Dad lost his fake alligator buoy in a heavy storm, so I made another boat. Inspired by the 1920s-50s wooden motor launches that were the first motorized personal watercraft for the leisure boater. Featuring beautiful lines that should cut heavy waves neatly, this boats were unsurpassed in style. As compared to the Sail Skiff Buoy ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5405060 ), the hull comes much further forward in the water, to provide more forward buoyant pressure in waves. Likewise the upper portion of the hull fans outward (like the originals) that should deflect waves away and down, rather than the hull ploughing through. Wood-PLA looks fantastic overall on the hull! It'll get a one-tone paint job and a taped upper hull/gunnel. Natural colour up top. Not sure what material I'll use for the windshield, but the flag will be safety orange. <h1>Post Your Power-Ups & Builds!</h1> I would really love to see a power-up version if any of the RC crowd are inclined.
