Do I need to reinforce the inside with carbon fiber?
Hull's in painting right now.
What do you guys think about the rudder? Is a center-mounted one fine?
Also,
How much speed would I get out of a 4s2p setup?
and how much more speed I would get out of a 5s2p setup?
Thanks for your guy's help so far!After all is said and done, more is said than done.Comment

5s will give you much more speed. I'd say with x442's around 60mph if set up corretly. For SAW runs 6s is going to make it really boogie.
The single center mounted rudder is the way to go with twin cats.
Re-inforcing the entire hull is not neessary. Reinforce the areas where you mount hardware and you should be just fine.Comment

Purchased 2x Castle 1512 1800kv's
Just waiting for them to come to my door.
Boat has been painted. Click here to view pics!
Still making the struts... So far only done with one strut.
For water pickups, (< < click there to view ) can I go with 2 of these? If so where should I put them in? Towards the middle of the hull or the very end of the hull? (one on each side)

You mean as closest to the end as possible right? Because on a genesis hull they can't go on the very end...
Yes, I'm around the Vancouver-Portland area...After all is said and done, more is said than done.Comment
