    Default H&M Freya hull finishing

    Will start finishing this hull over the next weeks. Looking for tips to find the best quality decals. From H&M or from MHZ? Or alternatives? If MHZ, probably 84cm version?
    Thanks

    Related to the decals - if one wants to place them on the painted hull, before applying the final clear coat, will they stick well? Or should decals be applied on a really smooth surface for maximum adhesion? For example, does it make sense to spray 1-2 coats of final clear (no sanding) then decals, then a few more coats of clear?

    Looks good to me, I suspect it will only go up from here, but only one way to find out!
    What motor, voltage and prop are you starting with?

    If you can set the prop 5mm higher less load to start with, i have a mistic 114 single motor (4092 1400kv on 6s)and run so good
    I have excellent results with Prather props

    Need to rotate that water jacket to get the exit line on top. Looks like the exit line is near the bottom, the jacket wouldn't fill but a quarter of the way.

    Thanks John, maybe my aquatic skills are bad. Why is that? You suggest to push the water flow upward in the jacket? In the direction below? Or do you mean to rotate the nippels facing upward?

    Fittings on top, exit nipple should be the highest one, that way cooling can is full of water before exiting to get maximum use of the can.

    Looks great. Is it an optical illusion? It looks like your rudder isn't straight up and down. Looks like the front bottim tip is kicked back a little. If it is it may cause some issues .

    You can make your own PDF files with wanted logos and a pro will print your file on clear or white adhesive vinyl, You choose logos and their size.

    I know. Had some high quality vinyl sponsor decals laying around. Personal touch and saved quite some money

    Lose the Y fitting. Water follows the path of least resistance. I use a manifold to get full pressure to both the motor and esc. You can also restrict the esc line out with a zip ty to equalize the pressure in both lines if you choose to leave the Y in. Not a fan of restriction!
    Happy New Year!!
    cheers, Jay.

    Thank you! Wish you also all the best. On the y connector. You are right. I?m working on a water pump to get enough pressure through a single line (>esc> motor) Will test that setup.

    Why not use a duel pick up rudder or a inhull pickup through the bottom of the boat in one of the ride pads. A lot less weight than adding a water pump. Plus you wouldn't be eating up run time powering a water pump.
