Well done, I like the way you made the steering wheel. Only thing I would loose are the 2 wheels at the sides.

Thanks Zblj! Yeah those wheels were "the last second" try to block thumb size holes on the side of the boat. They are just stucked between panels so they can be removed in 2 seconds

Edit: It is quite a big empty space between those panels... Those wheels were my only answer to cover it:

Maybe I can figure something else there... We'll see

Yes, I think I change my middle name to "Solution" I removed the tires and made this instead:

I think it's way better now

Nice work, it's fun to see something that's not on wheels. Good job filling the gap left by the wheels, too.

Great work with the boat, love the look of it. Looks a lot better without the tyres.

This kind of boating looks scary as hell...

It's a nice rendition of a very odd machine. Did you only use parts from 42000, aside from the propeller?

Thanks BusterHaus! Yes, I wanted to build few weeks some kind of boat... I dreamed something like Miss Geico -style offshore powerboat but it seems to be too difficult to me build at this moment but maybe some day... She sure is a beauty or what you think:

But I'm pleased with this boat now, until the next boat project

Thanks Chade! Yeah, now it's much better without those stucked tires in the sides

Thanks Saberwing40k! It was not only parts from 42000, but almost. I guess little over 90 % of the parts are indeed from 42000, few stickers, some beams, rims/wheels in air intake, radar wing and couple of parts inside the hull are some random loose parts.
