the fins are half way in the water with 2 bateries

But once the boat gets moving it will not be sitting as deep in the water

[eclipse]

i no that it will be the same as the pic now .how do you like the hardware??

[eboat]

Looks good so far

You are going to need a long stand off to get the rudder back by the prop

What size is the prop you have on it ?

Did you ever decide on what motor you are going to use

[eclipse]

stand off is going to be 3 inches to the center of rudder

im getting this rudder with 6 inch set back to put it right behing the stinger http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...ros-rud-dualpu
what do you guys think

[Avanti]

you might just go with a side rudder set up since you are single prop. (like most other boats out there) (of course there is something to be said for being different)
that is a sweet stinger I would love to get my hands on a couple of those.
good luck, I can't wait to hear how it runs.

[eclipse]

im gonna be different and mount the prop behind the stinger.
lol i just got stabed with that bullet nut i bought lol
thanks

[eclipse]

ok im thinking going lipo!!!!!!!!!what lipo do yall recomend ???

[Quicksilver]

cant help you with lipos, but the boats looks great!.....besides those turn fins. The bottom screw hole fo the fins should be where the outside screw hole for the trim tabs. In fact I would utilize the hole for the trim tabs and use it for the bottom screw/bolt of the fin. Wont look really good, but it'll look like you know what you're doing. With the fins where they are now, once you're on plane, they'll be completely out of the water.

Again nice job though, hardware and install look good so far.

[ace028]

I agree, your turn fins are too high, you need to move them down or get longer ones, once your boat is on plane, they probably wont even touch the water, and will be useless.
