The Wiki:
The Savoia-Marchetti S.65 was an Italian racing seaplane built for the 1929 Schneider Trophy race. The S.65 was a single-seat twin-engine floatplane of low-wing monoplane configuration with two floats. Its tailplane was supported by two booms and the floats, which extended well toward the rear of the aircraft. Its two 745-kilowatt (1,000-horsepower) Isotta Fraschini engines were mounted in tandem, each driving a two-bladed propeller, one in the nose in a tractor configuration and the other at the rear of the fuselage in a pusher configuration.

A special shout-out to Mikoyanster for assisting with some balance/power issues I was having. Without him, this beautiful gal wouldn't be the same. A fun, quicker little build for MrSilverWolf's challenge, and unique to the website, as I have been unable to find another. (If you do find one, please tag me so I can upvote/credit.) As always, please let me know if you have suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

@BogdanX Please don't. I appreciate it. Helps me remember tricks and tips to better myself.
Thank you @JelloAircraftCorporation!!
@BogdanX I'll be honest, the reference drawings I found for this were too small and obscured for me to decipher the measurements. I have pretty much eyeballed the whole thing to a rough scale. I had some help from mikoyanster with the wings and i didn't want to alter his fixes and shrink the surfaces more.
Thanks @yoshicraze!!
