    I have a rigger with a 22" tub and is 26" overall.
    I don't have a weight on it but the 5000mAh pack and a 7S is what I run too.
    A 100A mystery esc and then a 5cell aaa rx pack and 9g servo and small rx makes up the rest of the weight.
    The hull is mostly balsa so is fairly light.
    On choppy water I shoot a couple of 9v square cells in the front to add a bit of weight to hold it on the water.

    Go with what you have and I am sure that you will be fine. Do you know where your Cg is or will be ?
    See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood
