	Hi Adzam Is it the Deans Marine kit? If so beware the angle of the foredeck gun is wrong on the plan, and the hull needs some mods (when it is splayed out to the correct width the freeboard is reduced too much for'd, the chines and forefoot need filling out a touch and the stem at deck level needs the "rounded-off" effect built in) otherwise it is a nice light hull and gives good performance. Rgds, Christian.

	Hi there Christian , thanks for teh tips there, it`s not actually a deans kit its a kingston hull with hsl moudlings, i`ve looked at teh deans kit and to be honest wasn`t really that happy with the finnished product.
