flood chamber?

[hookedup]

just curious, my SV took a bad t-bone smash right at the stock water outlet, and while repairing is underway i was thinking of trying to make/build a flood chamber since that side is all smashed anyway. anyone done it to an SV?

I think I am gonna try this with the white SV I just got off the swap shop a few weeks back. I think remove the deck and use carbon cloth. I dont know how it will go but I got nothin to lose tryin. I might start this weekend wife permitting LOL

To make sure I wouldnt change my mind

I cut the hull up this evening to make sure I wouldnt change my mind LOL.

I like that sort of commitment. Gets things done.
I've been procrastinating over putting one in my 25" mono but it won't leave enough room for the battery on the left side of the hull unless I sit it on it's edge at a 45 degree angle. Not sure if this will upset the balance of the boat or not. Any thoughts? Perhaps if I do the same to the battery on the other side.

Paul, thats exactly what I did with my Triton. Worked fine with left battery on edge and right battery laying flat. These are Lipos though.
This is also the way I am setting this up. I'll take some pics as I go. Will

bigger balls than me Will!! looks good, may have to copy/follow your work. keep the progress and pics coming.

Thanks Will.
I run Lipos too, so what works in your Triton should work in my little hull.
Cheers.

Only had blue painters tape layin around. Sorry about the dark and poor vid. The wife was not interested in bein camera man LOL.

I am VERY interested in how this works out and I am sure many others are also. Was the boat empty when you tested? It looked like it was light without the weight of batteries and such inside. Keep us informed about the progress!

It had all electrics except motor. It had 2 packs of 2S lipos inside. 1 on its edge and one flat down.
