I cut the wrong shafts, outside rather then inside, so I ended up cutting for shafts into the hull.....lol newbie mistakes.

You are all good. You need to install drag props/disks anyway.

Going well. Sorry have posted anything. I took some pics to post. I have the motors in I cut the shafts out and was very careful to cut them, however in all my planning I cut the wrong shafts, outside rather then inside, so I ended up cutting for shafts into the hull.....lol newbie mistakes.

I got the ribs mostly reenforces with 1/4" balsa, as well as have the motors and ESC wired and connected. I put in the main water channel, and added some basic water channelling into the sides of the hull, to be topped off with self leveling filler in the next few weeks. Build my waterproof box for the receiver and firing boards. Build a rudder, its ugly but think it should work, still debating if I should redo it, but hoping it works when I do the initial speed trials. Still need to add the armor, finish the ribs, then will have another build session with Mark and take the next steps.

sounds like lots of good progress.
I strongly advise that you waterproof your rx and firing boards even if you're putting them into a box. Water Finds a Way
