    Reviving an old thread, may I ask where did you get the plans? Also, any pictures of it complete?
    Thanks,
    Lou

    To be honest. I don't remember anymore. Either Tugboat gave me some to enlarge when I got the hull from him or I enlarged some from other material. I don't have any pictures of it complete. However, it is sitting in my garage needing to be dusted off. I never had a reasonable superstructure on it. Just a quick and dirty balsa block setup. I can take a pic of it and upload it as it is. I still need to do a bit to it.

    After building it, anything you would change?

    Hull in hand from Strike. 75 round bow sidemount and 50 round stern. Hopefully a fun little boat.

    I did a 75rd haymaker with a 15deg 50rd bow gun. I got in one battle. It's first battle. I am not super attached to my gun layout. I actually finished getting it functional pond side!

    1.25", however I have some 1" props for testing. I figured it would turn well enough so I went for bigger props for acceleration "punch".

    The internals were thrown together last minute. I need to address a bunch of little issues. The batteries are cylinder LiFePo4 cells good for 10A of power at 12v. They are not pictured but they go in the 4 dents in the outboards of the ship. Centerline 3.5oz bottle. All brushless.
