    Default Need help identifying this hull

    Trades for this boat and was wanting to get ideas of what it is. Came wit all the hardware but needs to be paint and put together. This is my first electric boat so any and all help is greatly appreciated. Also need help with how I would go about painting it.

    Looks like a version of the 'Sober' from The Build R/C.
    Yours doesn't have the two hatches in the sponsons for the twin motors. Or does it look like they've been patched?

    I will have to agree with y'all. Just checked out the link and looks just like it. Now the question is how would I go about mounting the motor mount to the kevlar and the shaft tube for the flex shaft?
