It looks good and want to see the video. It's always nice when you can use some rc car stuff you might just have lying around to put in a boat. I want to do the same. I've done the same as far as forgetting to seal some wood like that it's all good. The one thing thats hard to see in the pictures for sure but make sure your water pickup is barely sticking below the hull or it will cause more drag than you want. Those kind of pickups work well and I see you put it towards the center of the hull so it doesn't pull to one side . Perfect. Nice job on it. Have you built any boats before? PS somtimes it's hard to get a responce on this forum but for the most part people on here help a ton.

thanks man.. i have the water pickup attached with 2 zip ties so its adjustable.. i have never build a boat before.. this is my first one.. thanks
