Bottom brighter green. . .it will make all the other green items pop out more. Even the battery trays add a bit of that green, maybe in strips, will balance the green inside the boat by spreading green along the sides as well.

what kind of clear are you using ?
There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...
Paint the whole boat with it
Green tape is sexy.
Well I’m slacking. I basically have the esc to install and the receiver and floatation. I’m putty by it off because I can’t bring myself to just velcro the esc in or drill holes for mounting it. I think that would be the cleanest way to do it and it would be easier to service it if I need to remove it but man.....drilling holes in the tunnel is not something I like to do. I guess if you think about it, it really does t matter because holes are dilled for the rudder, strut, cooling hose etc. in most boats. Ugh.

I’m putting holes through the tunnel on my hydro right now, mounting a new battery holder system. They’re not meant to be removable, so I’m going to paint over the heads to seal them. It is so much more secure getting a compressive squeeze thru the boat! We did it all the time on full sized hydros... Use a nice, pretty button head Allen screw and try to use consistent spacing, it looks better! Go for it dude, Velcro sucks for servos, it’s too loose.
I've never been a fan of the holes in the tunnel either. What's wrong with velcro? The ESC is partially tucked under the deck anyways. Seems to be working fine on my 27", and you'd never really know it wasn't mounted with hardware looking at the setup.
What's a Chicago bolt? Financially corrupt? Does it commit voter fraud? Just curious.

These are called Chicago bolts( or that’s what Home Depot calls em):

And this is what I do with them:

I put a piece of water tube over the bolt for insulation, AND... note the CF puck(S) at the base/foot for strength. Learned that on the uptake, lol
Killer bolt, he,he,he.... I know those as sex bolts. It looks great, but that high CG looks like a problem in a crash. I already know your answer, “ Then just don’t crash!”
Well the problem is the esc is so big for this little boat and room is almost nonexistent that I have to slide the esc in where the battery goes and then slide it forward and squeeze it into position. It’s a pain to say the least. So if I glued bolts or standoff’s in place I won’t be able to maneuver the esc in place.

Your OCD might not like it, but if it is really that tight you could glue some closed cell foam to It, and wedge it in place.
Several of my riggers have no mountings for the ESC or battery, the tightness of fit with flotation making it not needed.

As usual I’ve been slacking. Other things going on in life and I Don’t have as much time for boats as I’d like. But I did fool with it some this weekend. Got the temp sensor hooked up and functional tests done. Now I’m mounting the antenna, i didn’t like using the same ole mount as usual so I had an idea.

Good plan on the antenna Travis. I’ve been bored of the same old aluminum pyramid so I went another way as well. You and I seem to be ‘in the same boat’ (sorry, had to), I seem to be lucky to find an hour here or there to get a small task done on a boat project.
Well i finished it up this evening. Stunning build i cant lie and pics do no justice. I did a little walk around for you guys to check out. Let me know what you think!

Sexy as hell. What receiver is in there?
