Rweorking the 25" Prince DF knock off

[Basstronics]

Ive debated this for some time and finally decided to do it.

I bought a 25" Prince boat from r2hobbies. Its my first true fast electric and my first brushless boat.

The boat had a decent wood structure inside it.

heres the stock boat:


I added some CF to it to stiffen it up and hold the wood down:


Now I evolved yet again... The 380L motor is the biggest thing I could get in there. The 540 I got wouldnt fit...

So I finally ripped the boat up. I removed all the wood from the stuffing tube support forward. I ground everythign flat, smoothed out edges. I then patched some carbon fiber where there was none previously. Wrapped it up with a nice solid final layer.

Heres the finish product:


Now Im waiting for my wire drive. I have the motor mount I got from Steve:

Now when I get everything lined up Im going to epoxy this baby in there. After that do I just run some light weight fiberglass cloth up the sides? Or try to pieces some carbon fiber up the sides?

I got some 3/4 Oz glass tape 2 1/2" wide. I still have a decent amount of CF left. Its thicker than 3/4 Oz and its the nice thick weave stuff as seen in pics...
