updates:

striped them out and all. this will be similer to the way they will be mounted:

Don't think of them as pontoons. Think of them as lifeboats. You just never know when you might hit an iceberg... even in NC.

One to ponder.

you know, they probably are close to the right size for the MMM cambo and recaiver to fit in one and the battery and servo in the other

Well there is mardi gras. Park a cadillac in a thimble with room to spare...

no interest in putting your cc combo in a $100 hull and probably hitting high 50's or low 60's.....and having a boat that will be as stable as heck?

all the money you are spending on glue, duc tape and glue sticks you could be building a real boat?

just my 2 cents

+1. It's very easy to make your own cooling jacket so you could make a cooling jacket of your own to fit that CC motor and then plop it in a proper boat with a proper propellor and have a very solid performer. A marine ESC would be a good idea when you get the money, but for the time being

Yeah, you should get a better hull and build the average-everyday-run-of-the-mill boat. I'm sure that would get 7 pages of replies.

Keep up with the chaos, please.

I took a kb45 cooling jacket and just got some o-rings to work and it fits perfect the i.d. of the jacket is about 1/8" bigger than the castle neu fins

but yes you can make nice cooling jackets out of strips of CF and resin

I bet he will have alot more fun ounce he hear's that motor winding out at 60 mph 35,000 rpm and his rooster tail spraying on the turns

well, i would like to spend money on a nice boat hull but i have no money at all. I actually owe my mom and dad money (i'm 16 btw) and i've built it compleatly from parts i've had maying around the house (other than the two small boats that i got for less than $10). Part of the point of the project is to get a laugh or two and have fun building it! I don't normally care too much for buying a good boat hull and screwing in another motor. Plus, I don't have any use for a nice boat, i must drive 15mins to the lake with a ton of trafic or 20mins to a stream big enough to have a lil fun in. otherwise i would use it twice a year when i went down to alabama to visit grandparents. Or actually, we sold their lake property so that wouldn't happen.

not to mention that i can't seem to find a decent boat hull for cheap
