    Default F1 32" hull hardware suggestion

    Hi,

    Need some help/advice here, please.

    The Hull is a F1 tunnel boat, 32", Carbon/Kevlar.
    WSB (Waterland Scale Boats)

    The motor I have planned is a leopard 4082 2000kv combined with swordfish 240a datalog.
    1 x 6s lipo. This will be a inboard setup.

    The hull is on its way from Holland, so I cant upload any pictures yet, besides from the facebook page. BUT was wondering about this:

    Is this ok hardware?
    Motor mount: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...prod=ose-82000

    Strut/rudder: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...prod=ose-80085
    Looks like this also contains brass AND teflon tube?
    And is it possible to bend the brass tube (from inside of the hull, to angle it to the rear of the hull)

    Pictures of the hull from facebook:

    Nice looking boat. the strut and motor mounts are great I use the same thing in my mean machine 2.
    the brass tubing will bend some times it kind of stiff. When you do bend it do it with the shaft and teflon in.
    It will be harder to kink. Good luck.

    Can I ask why you want to setup this style of boat with an inbd system? These boats are more commonly setup using an outbd leg like this: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...dh-os-23871010

    If you were to set it up as an inbd, you will be limited to mounting locations on the transom. I would think you would want to use an inline mount similar to this: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...drs-002a-sng-2

    The manufacturer of that hull actually just started making these:

    Personally, I'd put an outboard on it. They are fun to drive when you get them hooking the turns and the exit off the turns can be just as fun if you have the power to bring the nose up and make it ride on the leg.

    Nicely styled tunnel, good luck with your build.

    Check out the 7.5 bullet outboard at the OSE store. It would probably be about the same money as an inboard setup. All my tunnel hulls have outboards , there's just something about the way they haul it across the water. Anyway good luck, feel free to ask any questions, anytime.
