OK guys... I got the second EP-1 from Tom in the mail today (THANKS TOM! THAT WAS FAST!!)....
After getting a lot of progress done on my OPC Tunnel, I decided to see what this little Force 22 Offshore hull would look like with twin Outboards...
I was going to give this to AndyM, but shipping to Australia made that prohibitive, and since it's not really worth much on the open market, I figured I might as well put it to use!
So, here are some mock-up shots... Believe it or not, I think I can get a really good CG by placing the batteries forward in the nose... Not sure what that does to the handling, but that's how my AquaCraft ProFisherman was, and it handled great...
I think they actually look pretty scale on this hull... And there is plenty of room for mounting all the hardware...
Should actually be a simple build... Just have to install a steering servo, and some reinforcement to the transom (which will be incorporated in the Steering servo mount...), and the rest is detail and support systems...
So, what do you think??? Let's hear you thoughts, good or bad, now, before I get too far on this thing...
