    Hauling that thing around for a week will kill you. Must be young and strong, or have a young strong son...

    No kids. No wife. No worries, lol. I am a truck driver by trade and pull a flatbed so it's got it's physically challenging aspects, lol.

    And not exactly young anymore. Just turned 39 yesterday.

    Maybe get the builder's plans for the hull from the NMM (price is from last year):

    NPB2075 Complete hull lines and body plan for Fiji dated 1939 at 1:96 scale [price £16.40]
