I bought this hull from a friend in Thailand. He has the mold and makes these hulls to order. Approx $190 US.
He told me he has not reached speeds over 100klm yet with this hull.
I would like to impress him and show him a video of his boat doing speeds @ or over 100klm.
It is layed up with polyester resin and i pressume will require more strenght to sustain these speeds.
I was thinking to add carbon fibre to the inside for strenght and visual look. Or maybe carbon/kevlar.
I dont know if i should lay any timber inside the hull for strenght also? battery trays or something. I can work with alloy too.
Im open for suggestions on this build, i thought i would get the advice from advanced BL modlers who have extensive knowledge on set ups, as im still trying to learn all i can, and i dont want to waste money on an incorrect setup being a learner.

I was thinking of installing what i have laying around already:-
2x Feigao XL 11T 1516KV motors with 2x 3S 5000 25/40c extreme power Lipo's with Y connection for 6S.
Not sure what esc's i should be using, however i have some Seaking 180A HV's on there way. Or i have an Etti navy race 150 opto in for repair (blown caps) and could purchase another 2nd Etti to match.
Im not sure what size cable would be suitable, or perhaps wire drive would be better?
I would like to buy MHZ drives but i dont have that sort of cash to spend. Same goes for Shulze ESC's so please dont suggest NEU motors or expensive set ups. Im trying to build a reliable fast cat, on a budget of around $1000.
The transome's to the rear edge is 120mm, i thought you want the props clear of the rear for less drag and clean water, and the drives as close to the inside of the sponsons for best results. also raising the drives maybe a little off the bottom is a good thing with larger props?

I have some small counter props i wish to try first and then go from there. the numbers say DHP 432/3R & the other DHP 432/3. Once i know the correct size props to run i will go for a metal compound for strenght.

Would i be better off keeping it lighter and go for some Leopard 380 size motors and smaller LiPo packs insted?
I will be posting the build process and results with a vid or two in the end.
