My Girl Mini Me

MY GIRL MINI ME

The WW poster woody (for almost too long) just won’t go away.

On Monday, master model boat builder craftsman – Murray White called into The Slipway at Milford Marina to show My Girl’s owner Jason Prew the amazing model he has build of My Girl.

In the photos above thats Murray holding the model with My Girl in the background. That boat speeds more time out of the water than in, the perks of running a marine railway slip 🙂

Now woodys Murray just doesn’t build pieces of maritime art – his models are the real deal – this one is powered by an electric drill motor. Check out the video below to see her in action.

And just when you thought we have seen enough of My Girl – she is the cover boat on the 2020 edition of the CYA Classic Register 🙂 🙂 🙂

That model suggest that with more power My Girl would be an absolute flyer. Electric motor conversion in the future?

Great model, ! Be nice to see other boats modeled by people, as quite often models outlast the full sized subjects, due to the age and condition of the originals.
