Hey Mike,
Aside from the rules, I will say the whip GV is incredibly hard to build as an FE. So are most of the Insane boats. The small hatch opening for the gas motors makes it a pain to configure.
I did run a Hyperformance Gas Thunderboat as an FE and did need to modify the transom per NAMBA rules to make it legal but this was just a matter of filling in the chamfers at the corners. It was quite easy to build and ran decently.
I would look at the Gas Thunderboat's available as better options. Maybe also consider a fiberglass or carbon Velasco 1/8 scale hull from the trained glue monkey in Oregon.
I can send you pics if you need ideas.
