First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

Ok sounds good. What should i do for my stand for the rudder/strut

[h2o 1]

Mason, hold off on the stand off until you get the strut in ur hands that way you will at least have an idea of its dimensions.

[masonis1]

Ok.. so is there anything i can do until that stuff gets here?

[h2o 1]

Didn't Zac say that was off a stock genesis? If so,i have a Genesis and i will make you one and send it to you.That way all you will have to do is cut to the proper length to get the strut out of the hull.

[h2o 1]

Not really bro!Urat a stand still. Everything basically from here out will be based around that strut.

[masonis1]

I dont really remember. Hopefully he reads this and answers that for you. Does that rudder look like it to you?

[h2o 1]

It does,im sure thats what he said it was,he just upgraded to .150 3/16 shaft.

That damn strut holding me back!!! Hahah just kiddin

[h2o 1]

Enjoy ur break now Mason!! Cause when that strut gets there,the party is over and the nerve wrecking begins!!!! Head scratching moments!! lol

[masonis1]

The strut and rudder assy. were from fightercatracing's place but they are a little older version of the current ones offered here at OSE. But yes in theory it should be pretty much the same deminsions as the ones from a stock genesis. Also Yes it is 3/16 prop shaft and .150 flex with a teflon liner.

Mason I am trying to get down to the Post Office today! If I can break away from work it will be in the mail today I will post up a tracking number for you right after man!

Lookin good on the paint. Dont worry about it looking perfect..... from 20 feet away as it goes zinging past no one will ever be looking at a run in the paint!

If it was me when I build the stand to mount all this to I would make sure it has some adjustment to it. A small boat like that is going to be skittish without being able to dial in strut.

It does look pretty good far away and thanks for trying to get to the po. Thats great. Take your time.. also, mark, i just put in the water outlet for the boat you sent. Fits good. Drill the hole a tad smaller than the threads and threaded the outlet into the plastic and then put the nut on the back... Fits great and looks great in the paint.. ill post some pictures up of it later..

Now the pictures of the top of the hull...
