^^ That's some beautiful wood you've got there (that's what she said). Your Cutlass is gonna look amazing made from that!

RSM Cutlass: $179 x 2 = $358
Exotic Wood: $151
Having it built by Capt'Brian: Priceless!
Agree with ya there SD. While it should look the same externally, I wish to have side panel access and the ability to replace individual components if needed. Not only will that make production faster it will save on repair bills in the long run if a mod fails out of warranty. I've got a good prototype of the body for the basic no frills Mark-6 wench, and a bit more tweaking to do on the Mark-7 Destroyer (inset tank mod). The Mark-6.1 will be simply a wench with a voltage display and dual mode.
The models I hope to produce and support are as follows;
Mark-3 Scallywag; 14500 3.7v bottom feeder (no frills)
Mark-4 Buccaneer, 18650 3.7V bottom feeder (no frills)
Mark-5 Cutlass, 18350 dual mode 3.7v/VV + voltage display, On/Off, Mode switch, bottom feeder
Mark-6 Wench, 16340 VV non-feeder, On/Off switch (optional voltage display & dual mode, the unit will be slightly larger)
Mark-7 Destroyer, 16340 VV + voltage display, On/off, Inset tank mod (tank inset approximately 1.3" into body)
Time will tell if that all works out or not, but it is what I am striving for anyway, arrrr
I already have batts for the Destroyer thanks to my Saber Touch.I should probably get some AW IMR's, though. I'm partial now. The batts I have are just Trustfires. And now to go look for wood worthy of a Destroyer.
Cappy, any idea when you will start making the Destroyers? I am willing to be a guinea pig.I know anything you make will be fantastic whether it's the first or the hundred and first! Still, I've got a slot on batch 8 and if you don't think a design at that point is possible, I might consider dropping my name until you're ready.

One of each for me please!![]()
So... will a Wench be like a baby Cutlass minus bottom feeding?

I just wanted to say CONGRATS on being the 10,000th post in this thread!!!
It looks like nobody else was keeping track, but I think it's quite an accomplishment for RSM and the Capt'... WooHoo!!!

The mark-6 Wench with the Dual mode and display options would be like one pretty much.
I think it's time to close this thread and start a new one, soooo much history here it bogs down the new people to the thread.
Here is my Destroyer in a before picture.
