    which hull is that? Nice mount, that motor doesn't look like it will be coming loose, and if its aluminum it will also act as a heat sink.

      Its actually just a cheap plastic 36" cyclone boat off ebay. yeah its aluminum and turned out very sturdy both ways. when I mount it for a run im gonna put this rubber around it so aluminum doesnt conform to motor and let motor spin. the hull has been re-inforced A-LOT.

        Some of those cheap boats from ebay do look neat to gut and mod. I got a cheap SH knock off from ebay. My dad works at a metal shop so I have access to loads of metal working machinery.

          You know what would complete this build is a left and right hand decal of OSE's new logo.

              I hope you dont mind I moved your thread. SJFE suggested a boat building forum and I thought it was a good idea. That way your build doesn't get lost so easy in all the regular posts. Thanks for sharing your build with us!

                No problem. If that is the case you could always shorten it as well if you want. I have bought everything for this build here at OSE except the hull. I will continue to post as I finalize things and a couple vid links when I get her wett! should be done with build this weekend.

                            I am going to start with a monster 6cells lipo each 20C. I will see if the motors get too hot and back off if needed

                              Make sure to share some video. Its going to be a screamer. I would like to put my estimate in for top speed. 55mph with x447's.
