    MHZ Mystic build for Joseph Y

    I have the drives and rudder mounted,, the rudder is reinforced on the inside of the hull. I fitted and mounted the motor mounts and stuffing boxes, the motor mounts took quit a bit of time to fit them to the contours of the inside of the hull .I was not look foward to building this boat but once I got started I am very EXCITED Chris

              What exactly do you guys use to attach things like the motor mounts to the hull? I'm assuming epoxy, but please be specific.

                  This should be a nice build! Are you fitting a power system or just getting it ready for his motors/escs of choice? I'm curious what's going to push this hull, which is very nice by the way!

                  When I do the motor mounts in my boats I usually make them out of carboard first, that cuts down on a lot of the time spent fitting them. Being the experienced build you are, I'm guessing you already do this in some form, but I thought I would throw it out there just in case its something you have yet to try.

                      Yes I did make templets out of cardboard but I ended up moving the motors so it needed some fine tweeking I am installing 4074 2000 KV with HK 180 ESC I was going to build the boat for myself but I changed my mind thanks for the nice comments guys !!! Chris
