I've seen it in some of the model boat magazines, but I can't really call it a model! To me model relates to something that you control by means of radio or IR from a distance, or something that is a static model on a shelf. This thing is an over-sized canoe with a lot of deck furniture....and apart from anything else, unless he lives on the lake, think of the hassle of moving it!!!
Don't get me wrong, I admire his determination, but it's not my cup of tea
I prefer this one, for ease of transport anyway!!
