    Default Lucus Oil Extra Flotation Needed?

    Just purchased, bone stock for now. Using SPC hard case LIPO's. Boat has not seen water as of yet, do I need to add two part urethane or pool noodle urethane for extra safety?
    Thanks for your opinions.

    Extra flotation is never a bad thing. I'd stick to pool noodles though.

    I'll second that, On both counts... Trim them up and fit them in wherever you can. There never seems to be enough floatation in any of these RTR boats.

    Even though the hatch is taped to the hull, I foam the bottom of the hatch in case the tape fails.

    Thanks to all for your suggestions. For now am in the South Carolina area and looking for a pool noodle and a pond big enough to let the boat stretch its legs. One thing I have discovered, when this boat hits the water it collects a crowd of interested bystanders. Wasn't prepared for a audience.
