    That looks nice. That stinger/ rudder really sit out far. Yours will handle better than mine for sure.

              I'm going to run this thing on 3S, make that 3S1P to clarify :)
              So I'll mount the motor further to the back

              I was told to run my own BEC battery (by someone) what is the reason for this? or is it just to give more balance options?

              Cheers

                  I'm using ply in the bottom, it should be strong enough to stiffen the boat up
                  I'm probably going to put down a layer of 6oz fibreglass where the motor is, I just have to check if I have any resin...

                  I received my water cooled motor mount as well as the water cooling jacket for the motor.
                  I mocked everything up, and I think it's going to fit very nice and snug in there

                  A picture is worth a thousand words :p

                            May I suggest a light hearted approach to forum chats in the future?

                              Hey boat looks good bud. But make sure your stinger is flat and your rudder doesn't have too much angle on it.
                              That should help the bounce
