Pool noodle rescue boat

[SlickZERO]

I built this from PVC and pool noodles. The plywood box houses the electronics. I used and old Koyosh outboard. Runs and works great. Steers really well with the outboard. It will turn in a 8' radius. The motor is brushed so I used an old RC car ESC. Only problem was the ESC got hot being enclosed. I water cooled it adding copper tubes to the heat sinks keeping them electrically isolated from one another. I epoxied them in with heat transfer epoxy. Went from HOT to cool. Can't even tell it had been run.
