Hi Andy

I built the Deans DUKW as a 6-wheel drive a couple of years back, let me know what it is you need…

Thanks

Hi Andy,

I tried to contact you via Paul Freshney but I have not heard back. You may have seen my yellow DUKW in Model Boats magazine last month so perhaps that has helped to solve your problems. I am sure the Deans hull is not very different to my plywood one and my method works fine on land. I actually have more problems with rudder steering in the water because the rudder is rather small and buried in the prop tunnel – so it does not give much side thrust when it is operated. Any bigger and it would hang out below the bottom of the hull and could get knocked off when entering and leaving the water.

Give me a shout on [email protected] before you do anything serious with your DUKW!

Bob
