Is there room under the cockpit to place a 4s pack or 2x 2s packs?
You can fit a 2S pack on either side of the motor. It's a tight squeeze, but they fit. I think the motor position may make it tough to try to fit a 4S pack up in the nose, so I'll be sticking with the saddle position for now. I have other plans for the area up under the cockpit... Stay tuned for that...
How do you like the motor mount, does it have enough support on the base to hold the motor w/o "bouncing" around or should there be a rear support for the can?
Motor mount is rock solid. Other that recoating all the interior wood with epoxy, much like we did on the SV27s... I don't plan on changing a thing here. I did replace the motor mount screws with some new 3mm screws and chased the insert threads with a tap, but we're getting ahead of ourselves here... I'll document that as we get to it...
Does the rudder have enough support or do you think it'll have the same
problem as the UL was having with the turn fin?
It looks like they've added a plywood backer to the entire transom area, which is an update compared to the original ProBoat Miss Bud. Looks like it's rock-solid back there as well.
More to come...
