Guys;
I have modded about 10 FE boats to date and built over 25 ( gas / scale) in total over 20 years or so...one thing that still amazes me is that more people don't use expandable foam as structual material for re-inforcing hulls. Its the best thing going,,,I just used it again in my Super Hawaii mod and it makes the hull strong as a rock with almost no increase in weight and adds flotation:D .
Its a win / win situation all around. Just be sure to use the LOW expansion stuff and add it in stages otherwise the hulls can be pushed out of shape.
Also , once its dry and has reached full expansion , you can cut it, file it to whatever shape you may need to install batteries etc.
Just some advice on what has helped me out over the years.:)
