    Ok I see. I noticed that you can get batteries in the sponsons, but there's no way of holding them down. I wonder if you dig out an opening in the foam maybe you can get them in there

      Yup,I'll have to get the flexi-dremal out and try. Perhaps a set of 3s 3300 Dynogy's will squeeze in there.I've been building the GF a new hair salon so the boats have been neglected.But it(salon) is done. I'll try to size it up later on.

              Yeah there's a bit of flutter there. But not too bad. I think if you can get the weight up a bit you'll be good to go

                      Looks very good. I'm about to embark on the same endeavor. Keeping an eye on this build.

                        Glad to see others are interested in doing stuff with these hulls still. I figured nobody would have interest in these things, ESpecially going thru the work I've been doing. Hope it's all worth it in the end -)

                          Got the stuffing tube in. I did a float test and no leaks. The floor is significantly stiffer now. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367719114.229687.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1367719134.092160.jpg

                            I'm still Trying to improve my skills laying carbon weave. It was rather tricky in this hull but I think it's ok.

                                I think there may have been some lurkers in the hydro section,I took a few pokes at getting advice about the Bud to no avail. Really glad to see some happening going on here. Nice work thus far.
