    I've always been a fan of adding a doubler at the transom definitely adds some support for the stuffing tube too.
    Thanks Mike, I'll get the rudder pics up soon here

    Ok well I got the rudder all mounted. As you can see in the previous pic of the drives the rudder mount holes are not really proper/square/centered. So I decided to go with the epoxied tube method of mounting the rudder bolts.


    I cut four lengths of tube for the 25mm bolts to run thru, drilled the rudder holes a size over,assembled it all, and poured epoxy into the rudder extension to hold it all together.

    Along the way here I found my supplied motor mount a tad off for my application so I enlisted Jeff(monojeff) to punch me out a couple new ones. These should be here this next week.

    The only thing left that I could do at this point is work up some water inlet tubes and drill those holes in the bottom of the hull.



    All I can do at this point is tape them in as these tubes may be running thru the motor mounts as support but you guys should get the jist



    And that is where I am at now. Alot of double checking my CG so I can get my necessary adjustments.

    So because I like to run four bearings per shaft on my stuff (it make the bearing much more durable), I had to get creative and make a spacer which fits within the drive unit. They had one in there but it only accommodates two bearings (one at either end)

    Next up is tacking the mounts finally. Jeff did a real nice job on these for me, they needed to be slightly larger than supplied ones and I was not a fan of the two bolt pattern. Not with 2250's!!!




    As because of them being 2250 motors, taping the joint I feel is necessary

    I have also done some nice guides for the cables. This will give a straighter shot at the hydraulic dummies and bring it in line with the proper servo height, as well as being tucked up outta sight. These pics don't really do justice:

    Crafty are we. Is it the same Tubing you use for water pickups?

    Very nice Shawn, as Steve said lot of intricate work there.

    Glad it went well with the silicone too. Not fun trying to get into the nose of a 114/115 to do the sleds lol.

    I should have some updates this weekend. I ran into a huge Glitch when I went to put in and mock line up my stuffing tubes. One of my motors had a bent shaft!!!!!!!!!!! So huge process getting a 'used bought' LMT shipped correctly to Andreas and then money for repair transferred. BUT.... they will come back with 8mm shafts and should be in the mail now.
    Other things have been percolating here, ESC mounts, water inlets/outlets... Pics to come

    I do, I have pics and such. Just need to find time to update. We had a long winter here and then suddenly summer hit and holy I've been busy. I'll try to fire some stuff on here after the weekend. Doubt the boat will hit the water till fall at this time.

    So an update, I have been tinkering here and there, I install the water inlets as seen previous but I did not get a pic of the inside



    I also made a couple of stringer/braces for the rear deck.

    Also mounted the drive tubes and you may have noticed they , as well as the water intakes are chrome:



    I also tucked the water outlets up behind the inlets and out the hull in a discreet fashion all epoxied in:



    Discrete is how I did my twin antenna tubes as well. You will see them centred on the rear deck.

    Very soon the green tape will come off and all will be smoothed out.

    Next up was my hatch and this is where I am at right now. I need to epoxy my blind nuts in but the holes are drilled and front pins installed on both hatches. I have one Kevlar hatch(pictured) all smoothed for speed and GPS and the CF one which will get the over cockpit scoop and scale windscreen.



    I reinforced the center bolt mounts as strong as I could in the tight space I had. This is a shot from under showing the pad which the blind nut mounts to. I sliced in a small vertical brace just for strengthening:

    Well I know it is a HPR bulletproof edition but if it sees 8s on those 1691kv LMT’s it may need all the help it can get.
    I figure 6-7s sporting around.

    And thanks Ryan

    All right, a bit more progress. I have the hatch blind nuts in and countersunk screws done on both hatches

    So I made a special tool to put a reveal under the hatch lip so I can install ESC cover plates.



    They will tuck up under in the slot made and then bolt onto the floor of the sponson where the bands hook. Good use of an inspection mirror once again



    I just have to get the bolt holes drilled yet today.
