    Thats is if i remember correctly,been awhile
    I need to get of my ass send you the 33' hull.
    Added a bit of CF (see pic)

    P.S 34' cat is ordered

    And a salute goes out to all serving and ex-service military on this ANZAC day
    What Cat did you order mate?

    with the salute

    Thanks for that Ozzie. I am getting chine walk but I have found with these DF clones that if you squeeze the throttle on slowly they seem to behave in a straight line. Slam the throttle home and they are all over the show. I might slip a set of small trim tabs on her ass but wont be sure if I need them until I go to 4s. Eventually a 1515 0.5Y and a smaller prop will find their home on this hull

        Very nice hull. It should be good on the corners with all that width. FC has some very nice engine mounts too. This should be an interesting build. Are you going for twins? The Doctor selected some nice Castle motors when he built my Maritimo. Fast and a long run-time. Nothing like the sound of screaming twins.

                        Ahh the Anzac Day match. Next week Tasmania gets the electricity connected so we will be able to see things like that too. June gets tired of peddling the generator so I can charge my lipos and be on the internet. Keeps her fit though.
