I had a EKOS clone from the UK called the saga. I did some work to it and changed out motors with feiago 380 9xl's 2580Kv on 4S with x442's and was around 65mph. It was a lot of fun. But that hull was pretty thin and had some defects. After a crash recently that busted up the gelcoat a bit. I decided to just build another one from a better bare hull. But this time its going to be a little different 
Plus the old hull will make neat decoration in the shop or my sons room.
Got the new hull a week or so ago from Ben at fightercat
Im currently acquiring the stuff I have decided to put in this one. And still figuring on a couple things.
The motors are going to be two leopard 3674 2650Kv run on 4S
The esc's are up in the air. either two T-180 or two swordfish 200.
I guess I will try .078 wire drives because I fear I am sorta stuck with the stock ekos 4mm stingers for this hull and a twin. I dont know of any others that fit
I'd rather them be 3/16 so I can run a larger flex cable over the stock flex cables for the ekos style boats. I plan on using x442's (60's mph) and slightly larger props to get the boat into the 70mph range so I need a good drive line behind the motors to the props.
The paint scheme on the boat I have thought up a few options. One was to make it a twin miss geico. in that case id sell my single miss geico so I dont have two miss geico boats.
The other option was an idea I had to make it a corvette boat. With two optional color schemes I have figured on. One was Blue sponsons, red tips, silver stripes down the center with a white belly. The other is red sponsons, yellow tips, with a black or gunmetal stripe or stripes down the center with either white or gunmetal belly. All the graphics I will model after the 6th generation corvette badges with some other graphics made up from the C6 racing corvette. I also want to make a stingray emblem to put on the back cowl somewhere.
I hope to have monojeff make up the decals that I do an adobe for me
