    I drew up this simple twin mount to have made.




    Top secret U.S Goverment material used to mock up the twin mount.

      I put down some carbon fiber over the transom, more for looks as it very strong already. I was going to install my own carbon fiber in the bottom of the hull, but it looks good the way it came.

        Installed the water pickups. They will be getting a layer of cf over them.

                        Very nice hull and hardware! Looking good man!!

                        From the pictures it looks like the trimtabs are mounted level with the bottom of the hull?
                        If so you could better raise them 1,5-2mm otherwise they will create drag.

                        Keep the pictures coming!!

                          Thanks Remmie, nothing was tightened in the pic, just checking hole alignment. The tabs, when tightened, will set up a bit. Waiting on some misc parts right now.

                              Completed the shelf for the servo, RX, and battery.



                              The hatch on this boat was pretty tough to begin with, but I added some carbon fiber and now it's bullet proof (almost).
