Thank you no. I should have specified runabout instead of cabin cruiser. Good find, though.

Why not make your own. A lot cheaper.
Not a great photo and still not finished painting it but..



I made this one out of cardboard glued over polystyrene. I sanded the polystyrene to shape them glued the cardboard over the top. The card board was scored to look like planks. Used polyfiller on any gaps.





Various bit and pieces to make the controls.

There is another one on Revisco...  Paper model, but you can make a harbor of them quickly.  easy to put together too.  It comes two boats to the kit...  Works well for 28mm...

Give that a try.

Revisco also offers it as a download.  I've gotten a lot of stuff from them and have had nothing but great luck and service.
Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.
