I decided to convert that motor boat to solar power and found it much harder to do than expected. Mainly because the panels I wanted to use caused the boat to overbalance and tip over.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
