Seal the rudder
post with a small piece of tape to prevent water
from entering the boat during this Step.
Place the motor,
radio, and all of the batteries in their approximate positions
in the hull. Then, place the cabin roof, cockpit roof, and
hatched in position.
Fill your
bathtub with about four to six inches of water. Set the boat in
the water and add ballast (tools can be used as ballast here)
until the boat floats in a level position and both pencil
marks are at the surface of the water.
Take the boat out of the water. Sprinkle enough talcum powder on
the surface of the water to cover the surface. Then, when the
water is still, gently lower the boat into the water in a
level attitude until it floats. Try not to disturb the
water when doing this. Then carefully lift the boat from the
water without touching any part of the hull near the waterline.
Place the boat on the display stand and let the water evaporate
from the hull.
