I just viewed the videos on Little Creek’s new 45 footer, Great. I want to thank all the fine folks at Headquarters and Manitowac for helping obtain hull lines. My project is well underway, hull is planked, water jet units installed, and now starting the cabin structure. Hope to launch in spring. Challenging to say the least. Best regards to all.

Commander, I can only suggest that you contact Manitowoc again, or maybe the Acquisitions Directorate at Headquarters. You can find them through uscg.mil.

I previously requested a set of hull lines of the new 45′RBM but was informed that they were not available for release due to contracts still being negotiated. Now that the first RBM has been delivered to Station Little Creek, could I obtaina set of hull lines? I have a fleet of three scratch built boats which are radio controlled (110′, 47′, 32′) and the 45′ RBM would really be a great final addition. I’m 74 and my 8 year grandson would love it. So would I! Thanks.

I am a Radio Control model builder, having scratch built 110′ Aquidneck, 47′ MLB and 32′ WPB. Found article on 45′RBM many months ago and requested a set of hull lines for boat. Received a nice reply from Project Manager at Manitowoc saying info not available due contracts still in negotiation. Now that CG has first boat delivered at Station Little Creek, is there a chance that I could obtain the hull lines in order to build RC model of CG45601? I have located source of scale jet drives; all needed is those lines! Would make 8 year old grandson (and me) very happy.
