Remote Control Boat
Yes — you will impress your friends when you emerge from the shop on that sunny Saturday with this boat under your arm. The local pond awaits your wizardry.
Creating a scale model is a magical endeavour. Regardless of whether it’s a hot rod, the wolf man, or the boat you see here. That magic sparkles to life when you add a motor into the mix. A motor that’s run and guided by a remote control no less. But, building a boat is a lot like piloting a boat, out on the water there’s very little in the way of direction — it’s a free-flowing affair that takes a bit of time getting used to. Likewise, there’s not a lot of measuring on this project. You’re going to exercise some ‘fit and feel’ skills while making this vessel. Not to worry though, there’s a full complement of patterns that get you headed in the right direction if you choose to take on this project. If you’re new to boat or model building, you’ll get some good exercise here. Calling this boat a toy is a bit of an understatement. It pays homage to vintage versions of the Cris-Craft style of boats.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
