Another boat for sale, this time it’s an RC model of the tug the Turmoil.

Built by my great uncle Jack (Seen in the linked photos) many years ago.

I did test this would float and it seems pretty good. I also managed a test of the radio gear and it seems functional although I’ve had no time to do further work on this in recent years.

It’s in need of restoration so is an ideal project for winter.

Contact me if you’re interested.

I believe the real life Turmoil was involved in the rescue of the SS Flying Enterprise

Collection only please.
