Later Models
Model Aerodrome never had an extensive range of model power boats similar to their aircraft, but we find occasional one-off types being produced, probably following trends in the market. I know of two designs of airscrew-driven hydroplanes and one stepped hydroplane - supporting the tethered boat racing popular in the 1930s and 40s, there is the Silver Dawn cabin cruiser and its smaller companion, available in the late 1950s to catch the new 'radio control' trend, and in the mid 1960s two fibreglass hulls were produced as this new material caught on.

Marinecraft were not big in the model boat marketplace, so examples of their boats are now rare compared, for instance, to the Aerokits range. We have little information on the few boats we do know about - but are lucky to have plans for one of the range, as you can see below. For the others, we just have a few pictures....
