New to Boat :)

[humayrayakongkinaon]

Hi everyone, new guy onboard. I traded my T-MAXX 3.3 for a limited edition Snap-On Spartan. I always wanted one since i saw someone running at the pond and that time has come, i'm very happy. i've been lurking around here and there and some other forum to get everyones idea on how to get this boat to perform well on water. so far i got a aluminum cooling jacket and a 2nd pair of trim tab, boreout the water inlet on the rudder. still got alot of things to be done, its a working progress, next mod i have to do is to put a transom water pickup, aluminum trim tab adjuster, another water outlet and maybe stiffening up the rudder strut brace, it seems a bit flixy.
Anyway, heres what it looks like when i got it (stock)


and as of now,


i thanks to all of you guys for helping each and everyone out here, giving ideas of how to mod and get it done the right way.

i little update, i put some car door weather stripping along the hull/hatch area. tested it by splashing some water into it just like as if it was running in the pond and after a gallon of water splashing into it, no water got inside whatsoever, this is a good thing!!!!
