Here
is a few images of Scotts 1/87 1000 Footer in her early
stages. The hull when completed will be around 11.5
feet long, so the hull is designed to come apart in two
sections. Below you can see the ballast tanks frame up near
completion. Scotts next step is to finish framing the more
complicated stern section. The hull curves up in the stern
where the props tuck under the hull slightly.
