Excellent build!!!
I watched the entire video log and can imagine your plight building this beauty.
Loads of hard work, patience and perseverance, I must say.

Yes, the boat is slow and you need a Bigger motor for it. I think it can go 4 times the current speed. If you going electric, do use the marine ESC with water cooling. Add a small diaphragm pump if the need be so for cooling.

I am on a similar project with a 48 inch Stryker cat hull and a 26cc motor. I ain't got those scratch building skills nor my patience lasts that long. Lol.

Anyway, good luck and keep updating!
Cheers !!!

thanks buddy, I cannot afford another motor and battery, so I brought 1 brush cutter engine. 4 stroke 35cc. but that is taking all the space and the boat is looking ugly. i have not fitted yet.

hi you can use 4260 motor
I was looking for 4092 brushless motor + ESC + 6s battery setup. but dats gonna be too expensive . so decided to go for gas . lets see when I can install 1.

Lovely!
Open the hatch, place the engine in the engine bay and take a photo.
Eager to see!
(Is a bigger motor/esc/lipo much more expensive?)
