    Sorry, another question, did you wetsand between each coat of the clear, or just let it build up?

      I sprayed 4 good coats then let dry 2-3 days wet sanded with 600 and sprayed 3 more. I'm going to do that one more time then I'll be done. I had to touch up the nose my grandson cut me off and I speared his barbwire xl. Got them both repaired so all is good.

        Wish I would have read up on Enamel vs. Lacquer. I'm using Rustoleum Painter's Touch Enamel, and I am having to wait 4-5 days between clear coats for fear of the dreaded "crackling" from re-coating too early. Oh well, been building my mono for over a year, what's a few more weeks.

          That enamel is funny If you lay it down to wet it will wrinkle up, and it is a pain to strip it all off and start over been there.

              Here is my build log:
              http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...d-Build-Advice

              It's an old ABS hull I picked up from a member, it's been a learning process for sure, scared to see what will happen when I finally get her in the water lol.

                      It's got plenty of motor for sure.

                          That really was a downsize!!! Wow, going from a 4070 down to a 4074?? Whatever works for you I guess...

                          What kv did you pick?

                            Those water inlets would be better if sanded flush.

                              It's 2200 it wasn't quite enough for my mean machine 2 so I swapped them out. It just seemed like too much in the pirate , I never could open her up . Yes I'll clean the water pickup's up '

                                I am somewhat confused. The 40x74 is a bit small for a 35" mono but about right for the MM, had one myself. The TP "4070" with a 2200 Kv is a bit much for a boat the size of the Pirate but with an appropriate prop it can work well. What prop did the OP use with it? An x447 should be acceptable but not too much.

                                The above assumes 4S. On 6S a Kv of 2200 is SAW territory and generally not appropriate for a sport boat.

                                Beautiful boat BTW!
