HPR 115(Average White Boat)

[srislash]

WOW this thing is amazing! I would love to do a build like this in the future!

Keep at it. Skills and confidence improves. This boat was on the shelf for 3 years I believe before I tackled it. One or more boats got built every year till I felt up to this one. Much advice was sought after as well.

Too cool, love the Average White Boat decals.

Been saving that look since the early 90’s. Lol

I have a couple updates. First I decided to upgrade my rudder assembly since our friend Kent has done a miraculous job on producing a scale rudder for us

And next, I figure while I wait for my last decals to show that I would construct my data center. I am going with the Eagle Tree Boat Data Logger. This will run off a 6volt source and read my GPS, RPM,G-Force, and an amp unit capable of 300+. And I will run the Power Panel in the boat. This is 'mocked up' so it will get cleaner. First I made a bed with blind nuts



Then a series of standoffs/nuts/threads

Nice. Where did you source the threaded collars and inserts from for the data mount?

Ryan, all of it was HobbyKing. I can let you know which stuff or depending what you need I have extras

Thanks, just want to store the idea away as an option in the building arsenal if/when needed.

Ok Ryan, well they are here if the opportunity strikes

I find myself at some point after completed build asking myself what the hull weighed bare, so I figured I would state it here. It may be a guide for others or not, but here it is: the hull came in at 100 oz, the lighter sleek hatch was 12oz, and the purdy hatch is 14oz.
