Yeeoowwww!!! 100%
Set in tub for 30 min, no leaks! All that's left is some soldering connectors for the charger! Damn I'm pumped! More than likely maiden voyage this weekend, I'll def post video, even if it's all bad ( better not be) lol. Ready to rip! Paint is next, nothing as spectacular as dana's I'm sure but I'll do my best! Thanks guys!

Well I'm happy to say the maiden voyage went... Well pretty well. It ran super wet, have some setup adjustments to make, it was really windy out so not a bad thing. But it was pushing they the water pretty heavy. Stinger setup should be at what angle? Have a little link to mono trim tabs and stinger angles? I didn't get video, but I'll video next outting for sure. Overall ran really good, but I don't know what you call it but at full throttle the hull really twisted/leaned from the torque.

Hi. How do you know where to make the holes to install the hardware ? How do you seal the hole ?

Wolffman, determining the height of the hole from the keel has to do with the prop size you intend to run. That being said, a hole Center of 3/8” from keel would be good for this hull. A little higher for more stable running and lower for speed but less stability. This hull likes a 47-50mm prop

Nice! I want the boat as fast as possible. What about the trim tabs an the other tubes ?
Thank you

[srislash]

You want the bottom of the rudder blade about 1.5” below the prop and the trim tabs you set them up about 1/16” above the hull edge.

Thank you
