I have a Nitro ProBoat Formula U-1 that I ran 3 times, after that I started playing with Aquacraft UL-1's.

The U-1 now sits on the shelf and gathers dust.

Is there enough space under the hatch to convert the U-1 to electric? (I have a spare UL-1 motor and ESC that I can use)

If it can't easily be converted then I may sell or trade it.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Yes... I did it a while back... making the 2005 Oberto.

However, things are tight in the Nitro hull, do to the small hatch opening. If you lay it out so that the motor is back a bit, and you can fit the cells up in the cockpit area of the nose, it works great. You can usually put your ESC over to one side and it all fits fine.
