    Good luck with the build, and we look forward to seeing some good shots of the boat building and hopefully a video of it's maiden voyage as well.

          Yes the rudder from O.S.E. is the same as the first one on ebay and yes the second one will work with a cat but you'll need to measure your hull in between the sponsons and make sure it's less than 15 cm.

            no it's not 15 between my sponsoons...does it really have to be though?..like would it make that much of a difference if they were out a bit more??

              ok here is a pic of where APROXIMENTLY the rudders would come on the boat..it's not exact but it's close enough to show where it would be:


              now with that would it work??...or does it REALLY need to be between the sponsoons?

                just my opinion, but i think you would be better off with one rudder, either an inline one with the strut, or one offset on the side of the strut.....two rudders may help turning a little better, but it should still work good with one.....and the different shouldnt be that noticable.......you can save money that way too, the setup will be alot less complicated, and you would be able to buy a less expensive/less powerful servo since it would only need to turn 1 rudder....

                just an opinion though...

                    if the motor for that boat wrecks this boat oh well lol...i'm just getting the stuff that will be right for that hull

                    so yes this meens i will be going back to the fiegao's probobly lol...i'll probobly get a couple of seaking 120 amp esc's for now and upgrade to hydra's later

                      Just a dumb question... Why bother buying 4 esc's? why not just buy the 2 hydras and transfer them when the time comes?

                                If it were me, I would drop in 2 Feigao 8xl's (2073kv) with 2x240 hydra's, 4 lipo packs and dual m545 props. But that's just me.
