hardware includes the prop, prop shaft and stuffing box.  Midwest has done a good job at dividing the parts into items packaged together that are needed during construction.  During construction, the manual refers to the location of needed items by the name of the bag they are packed in.

  Material is included in the kit to construct a crane and exhaust stack.  Wood is included in the kit to construct two lobster traps and three buoys.  Mahogany is included in the kit to construct toe rails and skids plus moldings to include chafing gear.  You even get two cast metal lobsters for your traps!

 
Instructions: RATING 5 out 5  


  The 94 page construction manual is outstanding.  This kit is part of the Midwest Success Series™.  This kit features a complete and fully illustrated step-by-step construction manual and full size plans.  The manual is broken into separate sections and outlines the complete construction process, from beginning to running your model.  Almost every construction step is accompanied by an illustration. 

  The full size plans are easy to read and contain both side and top views, but other assembly also.
