Hi all, I have been reading the forums for months for ideas and trying to learn what I can to build a budget mono hull. I have been flying nitro and gas RC for 35+ years and want to try something different. With the cost of everything so high I recently got into the new big thing with flying witch is electric foam board planes. I had a bunch laying around and figured why not a boat? Has anyone done this? I have been doing more studying than building but have a hull pretty much created. Its a 37" mono, very loosely based off of a Prowler, 3 layers 2.5oz fiberglass throughout the inside, in the bow I added high density foam(same material as pool noodles). Once everything is together and mocked up I plan to do the same fiberglass treatment to the exterior. I thought it was going to be too light but its gaining weight with all the fiberglass. I plan on (and ordered) a Leopard 4092 1480Kv motor running on 6S to a Octura X645 via 3/16 flex drive. I tried to use the RCI FE Boat Calculator but I don't know how accurate it is. I am clueless on all of this boat stuff so go easy on me.. I would be grateful for any feedback or ideas.
