Mini Hydro Build

[NativePaul]

I am building a boat for the MPBA (uk) Mini Hydro Sprint class and for Mini Hydro SAWs.
The classes rules stipulate a 450mm maximum hull length, open motor, 2s or 3s battery, no battery capacity or weight limit for Sprint, no capacity limit but 110g weight limit for SAWs.

I call it the 'Least Weasel'


If you want to see the build there is a narrated timelapse of the build on youtube condensing about 50 hours of building into a 15 min video. My latest project, the 'Least Weasel'


There should be a video of the fit out within a couple of weeks, and then shortly after a test and tune video.

Thanks guys, I am pretty confident about it being good for SAWs, not quite so much about it for ovals, the CoG is a little further back than usual, but it has a more prop blowing power than my normal oval boats too.

Any updates to this. I remember reading this thread years ago and thought it was fantastic.
