Hi Jesse;
"Great video! looks like fun! was that full throttle? I was thinking of putting in a sc 700 or like you say XL brushless. I will be watching for more videos under bl power!"
Some of it was full throttle, it is a lot of fun, remember to keep the boat up stream so if it dies or turns turtle you can catch it.
---"How is that hull? would it be worth laying down some good sturdy fg before construction? Do you have any shots of the transom? How do you mount up that jet?
--- YES it would be worth a layer of glass or carbonfiber on the inside. Not just the bottom, the strakes make the bottom very strong. I have a couple of major cracks in the sides of the hull. Study the instructions for the Jet, drilling that huge hole in the transom is a major move. Both of the heavy gray plastic pieces go on from the outside then the white water duct goes on the inside. So cut and fit the housing and nozzle(gray parts) before cutting the hole in the bottom of the boat.
Leave the Vee hull alone ! The less boat in the water the better. A big flat pad is just drag.
