hey george,
if it is the plans you are looking for go to lesro though the link that andyk posted, they do the 3/4" to 1ft (3ft model), and the 1" to 1ft (4ft model)

if it the fittings you are looking for then model slipway sell them for the 3ft model -http://www.modelslipway.com/
hope it helps.

I have just found this topic,I am also trying to renovate a 36" version.
Just finished installing new motors and radio for steering and speed control so deceided it was time for a quick trial in the domestic test tank.

Everything works BUT quickly discovered it leaks like a sieve! Yes ,I should have tried this first!
Does anyone know of any flowable compound that I could pour into the bottom of the hull that would set hard and seal it.

Thanks

You could paint it inside and out with fibre glass resin. You can get a tin from Halfords for about a fiver. Pour plenty into the hull and let it flow all around the insides so that it completely coats the internals.

If you don't do the same or something similar on the outsides the wood will rot and you will be left with a floating fibreglass shell!!

You really could do with finding where the water came from though so that you can fix it properly, then the outsides might only need a good filling, priming and painting.
