    Swap the propellers, the way they are installed you will be throwing alot of water out to the sides when going forward. We just tried the same thing in my Kumano, and BC Ricks new Scheer, and it did not work very well with the props turning outwards at the top.

    I thought the same, that it would be best out at the top, but for our cruisers it was not, they were slow, and did not turn so well. I spotted it on one of your pictures.

    Just reversed the props, so the top turns in, and not out.

    It floats she is listing a little but that is do to equipment just thrown in for battle weight not secured yet. and best of all no leaks . I rocked it a little she wiggles & wobbles but doesn’t fall down [;)] I pushed it to around 20* starboard and let it go recovered in 3 trips back to starboard not to shabby [^]

    Powder, you've done a fine job on that ship. It looks great. If your ever in the area of Harrisburg, Pa. bring it down with you. I have a pond.
    Let's battle.
