I am almost done with the interior of the hull that I ordered bare without any stringers. I made all the stringers and CNC cut the black motor mounts with my CNC Mill. I also ordered a custom wrap for the boat instead of trying to paint it or pay someone to do it. Was a 4 hour job and sucked, but I am happy how it looks. I will be using 160 amp Proboat ESC's and run on 8s per motor. So far so good! I have everything purchased so I just need to finish it up.

That vinyl wrap looks looks really good. Was it easy to apply? Where can a complete wrap be ordered? That rear end looks real nice and expensive!

What did you use for a border around the wrap?

The wrap was a ordered as a 6 foot by 3 foot roll. Extremely hard to put on. I had to remove all the backing and hang it sticky side down for entire 4 hour installation. It is very stick and you CANNOT use any soapy water or other fluids to help float it on. it took lots of heat gun and pulling starting from the center and working in both directions. I would not do it again. it is all one piece going around all the corners and such.

I used 1/4" vinyl pinstripe. It helped clean up the cut edges for a nice buttoned up finish.....good eye!

It came out really nice I've got more than four hours in some of my paint jobs, and still not look that good.

Silly me.....I saw those awesome motor mounts and shaft mounts that simply clamp into the stringers and I was scouring the internet looking for them and would have saved myself time had I read your post and learned you made them yourself.
