[H&MWill]

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Dad thanks you too Doug LOL.

Will I would appreciate it if you could post some pics of the inside of the hull as it sits ready to go. I am interested in battery placement and such...

Custom built SV Flood Chamber

Just built and installed my own fibre glass flood chamber similar to - H&M Will - Installed BL Motor and Lipo's and tape seal hatch and did bathtub test - No luck Sv wouldn't roll over she stopped sort of halfway what can I do.... Build looks so good for not to preform it's purpose

Other than removing what youve done and starting over, you may be able to add a little weight to that side.

That is the sickest thing I have ever seen! Not having to worry about crashing and being able to drive all out has to take the enjoyment factor up a few levels.

Please post some photos of all this hard work so all can see thanks.

How far over did it go ? if the prop is in the water you might find you can accelerate and self right, my oval master has a flood chamber and would right itself fairly quick but very quickly to the halfway point, then you just nail it and the flood chamber empties. At the time the flood chamber was built in my boat we did another OM26 first and found that the hole in the transom for the f/c had to be about 1/3 of the transom width. also a hole in the bottom at the front of the FC let air out and helped the boat right quicker

I think I should try this so I can leave the fishin real at home!

I noticed this also with the guy thats selling the kit for these. It looks as though if it doesn't flip over perfectly it might get stuff half way and then you use the throttle to get her going. I've looked at mine over and over but just haven't started anything. The main reason I haven't done anything is the batterys I have are huge and would be a pain in the butt to fit with a new wall in the way. I'm surprised there isn't more people posting results and pictures yet. Hopefully I will hack up mine this year and post so results.

Anybody know of a hull we could switch over all the guts out of the sv that has a flood chamber in it already?
