1960's "Eldon" toy catamaran

Those are just damn cool models. I love them in full size and in model form. I attended the Rhinebeck Museum a few years back and there was a mahogany boat present with a V-12 mounted in it. The boat was recently restored and it was beautiful, I can only imagine the work and effort that went into restoring it. As a carpenter by trade, I truly admire the fit and finish of the wood boats.

No worries gents! Ken, when you say that you have the set-up for a 1/2A runabout.. what exactly do you have? I can picture the Allyn "Sea Fury"/Atwood outboard-engines.. and then I can also picture the the Sterling (and later Dumas) drives designed to use the model-airplane glow-engines of the day.. which utilized a shaft or cable-drive.

CEF member Bill Stelenski was in touch with a fellow nearby to me, that had built some 1/2A marine/outboard/glow engines. I've lost touch with Bill Stelenski.. (hence my mobile-phone contacts melt-down) but I've been wanting to reconnect.. particularly regarding the model-marine engines that he was building. I'll see if I can reconnect.. and will report back.

Roddie, I have the inboard setup similar to the one Dr. Cox provided with the OK engine. As for Bill, I have somewhat lost contact with him as well. He would call and we would be on the phone for 2 hours. Unfortunately, he called many times and I wasn't home to return the call and he stopped. I have a bad habit of not retaining numbers too. I will get a picture of what I have, I know it's missing the portion that attaches to the hull to support the shaft.

if y can find dumas drive sistem y build ulm boat if some have good prop for 049 boat see bee ?
