              Well I went to do my hatch bolts the other day and realized I don't have a fiberglass hatch for it. If I do, I can't find it. So I ordered a couple and my buddy down the road had one so he brought it to me. I'm still waiting on my motor so I have a 4s motor I'm going to put in it. I'm actually going to build a 4s saw version of this boat with a goal of 75-80 on 4s. I'm impatient and want to see how this setup will fair although this boat is a good bit heavier than the one I'll build for 4s duty. Still will be interesting. I got my collet and rear support ring in yesterday for this motor setup so it may be running this weekend. Hoping to go maiden voyage on a couple boats at the same time.

                I'm watching buddy, it'll take a few amps at 4s to get the job done. What's the plan?

                  Well I've got a high kv competition wind neu 1521. The esc for now is a castle 240 with a nice cap bank. Wires will be as short as possible. For now (because the way it's wired because this esc is set up really for 6s and 7s) I'll be using (2) 2s 5500 70c revos for mild testing. If I burn up this esc (don't care really) I'm getting an mgm for it anyway. And for the dedicated 4s boat it will have a higher amp version esc and two 4s packs will be run in parrallel to handle the higher amp load better. I am going to start out with an x642 and data log it so I'll know where I'm at with it.

                      Figured out a way to turn the jb weld black and give it a beautiful shiney look.

                        Well this boat is finished. All that's left is Velcro. Bench tested, everything works fine. The pics you see above are the completed state. No wires are visible for a clean look. I put the other lehner Rivercat on hold for a bit so I can experiment on mine and apply some things to it. Glad I did, I've got a few things to make his nicer. Anyway, not sure on the maiden but stay tuned.

                            Yes sir, looks very nice. I like the tunability of having those long trays.

                                I do those in all my builds. I've had to move batteries further up front the faster I go.
