haha me and my friend will def have a video camera (or at least my phone) when we test it!

thanks for the comments guys!

good news! the new boat should be much much better! plus the new boats driveshaft is 4mm thick, not 3 and the propeller is extreamly agressive and made for speed! My friend is comming over tomarrow (hopefully) to help build some more (and he has a lathe and band saw that would really help on some things. all i got in a drill)

pics so far:

I'm no boat expert but I think your gonna need to get that shaft much straighter or suffer from a severe vibration ?
Looks like a fun prodject, looking forward to seeing video !
Good luck Captain.

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

thanks! but the shaft is strait, i just had to put all kinds of spacers (aka shock pistons and 2 lst spacers lol) on it so i could mount the motor farther back, and the free spinning spacers and what's not strait.

I vote for dual turn fins... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...od=ose-506b80a Basically they stay in the water when the boat hops around and keep it from rolling.

Not to shoot it down either, I think it's worthy of doing, just with a different boat.
that's what i thought it mite be. maybe i can somehow move the propellerso it comes out the rear and sticks way out behind it??
