    Looks good. These boats are thin. I hope you have future plans on re-inforcing it. Mine has been split open more than a working woman.

    How does it affect with moving batteries into the sponsons? weight wise forward more? I have EKOS, and have been wondering why some move it there uhmm.. I know in the sponson its much lower center of gravity, but more forward, any better chance doing nose dives?

    Did the same to mine, but was running 5s batteries and had to mount them on the tunnel. Made the boat very unstable around turns due to the high CG. Mounting them in the sponsons makes the CG lower and handle better, but changes your horizontal CG and may make it hard to plane without proper trim.
    How does she run with that setup?

    New setup- Etti 150A's, Turnigy 2600s, 5S, X442s and a whole lot of cooling hoses
