Hydro & Marine 50" mono Build

[JCAustralia]

Very nice.

[Gerwin Brommer]

Big thanks to the guy who invented the scissors to cut kevlar !
Bought one and it works 100%.
I'm using kevlar to reinforce the hatch. Wanna make pins in the hatch, which
slides into tubes under the deck of the boat.
Pics will follow soon.

Finally a small update, after beeing forced to do nothing ( 6 weeks at home on docters order: "tennis-arms" !

Tray for the lipo glued in place, finished with two strips of kevlar, slots for velcro straps .

[elvish]

thats a big battery tray. Give use more pictures :)

[Unkle Chopper]

OK i want one now !!!

[j.m.]

Could some sort of standoff not be used on the motor? I.e. extend the motor forward from the drive a few inches, and reinforce it by connecting it with the bottom of the hull somehow?

[Gerwin Brommer]

The motor IS a few inches from the drive, if not: the flexaxle is too short to have a nice radius
if you wanna steer .

I'm just getting to reading this thread and I think this boat is going to be sharp GB

[Eodman]

Evening Gerwin, Hey what speed you think this puppy is gonna run? This is gonna be a sharp boat!

Hey what's up with you guys across the pond ..... 1st Hans Peter has to step away for health reasons and now you too !!!!!! What's in the water over there?????

Gerwin,

Is that your water ballast tank up the front of the bulk head . I think it is a great idea to have ballast tanks in the boat . Nice one mate. BONEWAR

[Gerwin Brommer]

Eodman :

I have no clue about the speed, all i know that this boat is no lightweight :-)
I'm willing to let go some speed, in exchange for durability.

Bonewar : yup, that's the water-ballasttank.

Throw a sponge in your ballast tank, it will almost eliminate the fluid movement during running.. (sponge fastened down of course, not floating)

[Gerwin Brommer]

Too late for that, the tank is completely sealed. But is has bulkheads in it, with small
holes to fill.

[bonewar]

Gerwin,

Any updates on this project mate.

Not much, covered the inside with carbon/kevlar cloth.
Didn't turn out as neat as I wanted, cause I layed it up in one piece.
So the lines didn't stay straight.
But with all the stuff installed and the poolnoodles inside the hull, nobody will notice.
