Thanks Richard,
I was wondering about the keel. The model instructions show a very small keel and some other model pictures I have seen show a larger one. I was beginning to think it might be retractable so the length wouldnŽt matter. Your link showed me it was made of lead and weighed 7 tons so I think the retractable keel is out of the question. IŽll go with the larger one but will have to guesstimate the dimensions.

Bill

BTW, I like your Bugeye. I see the pics are older. How did it turn out?
