Does the hull need a front bulkhead ?

[ls1fst98]

I don't think any "need" a bulkhead.

Should look great once done. Your question about it needing a front bulk head is kinda open ended. It all depends on what your going to put into it. Motor size, kv, voltage may and discharge rate of packs, etc etc. If you haven't decided you can state your expectations here (max speed your looking for, runtime etc. Are you planning on using scale type drives, stinger or strut etc. Share as much as you can and things like bulkhead requirements and other similar things will fall into place as you get your drive line sorted out. Thats the reason you got only one reply, lots to sort out before being worried about bulkheads. Let us know your goals and expectations. I would put the stickers and thoughts of doing paint on the back burner. Doing that before all the drive/interior work is done is asking for trouble.
Welcome to OSE! A few more pictures showing off the hull would be great, the transom and interior as well as the bottom plus some glamour shots. This will help people answer any questions you have. Good luck, it's one of my favourite hull designs and central marine makes some top notch stuff!

looks good, make sure to silicone the battery sled system into place, not epoxy.

[klbo]

The only thing I Epoxy was the motor mount everything else is going to be black silicone
stringer is mounted 1/8 from the keel prop shaft about 7/16 up
Rudder placement just because of servo placement. servo Mount fit well on the motor mount rails
455x prop should be conservative

I thought you were just getting started but it looks like your almost done! Looks really nice. I would consider putting a bow to stern running bulkhead, fitting with lots of flotation and then seal it of with a port to starboard header. It worked well on the big mono I am doing. Love that hull design.please keep the pictures coming and video when done would be great.

I assume you are going to run 2p, 4000 mah wont do much at all, even if 2p it will only give you 8000mah, got any 5000's? Amps are the key here, 40c minimum too

[klbo]

4000 2p =8000 to start bigger batts later

[klbo]

So the boat is getting close to being done not sure what size prop the Boat is 21 pounds 780 KV motor on 10 S I have an 455 X any suggestions

[Make-a-Wake]

x455 sounds like a great testing prop, could be a good. I ran my 47" Mono(Castle 2028 10s2p 20 lbs.) with an x457/3 and got into the mid 70's. You may end up going to an x457 or Prather s235/240 possibly.................455 good to start though

[klbo]

Thanks for info ill be getting it wet soon
