    Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I really haven't seen the need to put in more vertical supports. I even sometimes set the Voracity crosswise across the top of the bag when I'm working on it and the top pipes bow a little but really not bad. I haven't seen the need to glue any of my joints so if you feel like you need to add more stuff later it would be easy. EDIT: If you think people might stack things on top of the boat bag, I would add a vertical support in the middle.

      I really enjoyed watching the DIY on that boat bag, ... going to definitely look into making one!

      Thanks!

        Does anybody here have water coming into the hull from where the trim tabs bolt up? How can I stop that? iThought about silicon but have no idea how to get it in between the outside of the hull and the screw

          Thinking you have already checked screws for tight. I have used liquid thread seal permatex.

            Yes I have the same issue. I haven't done anything about it yet but I need to. Let us know what works for you.

              Yes in tightened all the screws but water still seeped in pretty bad still. Is the thread seal permatex pretty thick? Cause the screw hole is is big so I'm not sure if the permatex will just ooze off. Thanks

                No goes on like thread locker but little thicker . Let dry screw in. My main use for it was for sealing 350 chev. Head bolts. Has Teflon in it.

                  A dot of silicone. On the inside of hull on each nut could not hurt. Guess got lucky mine does not leak. I use wood fondue sticks (take point off) to apply.

                    That's funny. I use wood fondue sticks for glue projects too. They work well.

                                Finally got time to actually put batteries in mine to set up in the Living Room.

                                Is it normal for the steering servo to release a pretty loud audible hum/ buzz? I turn the transmitter on, then the esc switch and I get the hum/ buzz, however, it will go away as soon as I call for steering and doesn't come back until I power down and begin to re-power up. I made sure it was the steering servo by disconnecting at the receiver and powering up and does not make such noise when disconnected. Thoughts?

                                I should be putting it in the water today!
