You want more than the build? I will not have a camera man at the pond with me.

[AndyKunz]

Drag Dan or Wilmer over. This isn't going into Duck Poop Pond is it?

More of the build would be cool, too, but I think action will be the real eye-catcher.

I ran the boat this weekend hate the way the cells have to go under the deck hard to get out. But the Motor ran great with a 455 prop in the 56MPH range and the motor was cold. I tried a biger prop a pitched up 460 it cavitated and needs a lot more testinf . Videos soon it is up loading at this point.

That's a nitro or gas boat. You can hear it. I agree, no FE hydro on this video.
