          Well done Tony, it certainly looks the part (the final picture does not appear on my screen). 
           
          Did you find the mTroniks 900KV motors fast enough?  How’s the handling?  With the extra speed the PropShop propellers gave me I have to be carefull not to give mine too much rudder or it will try and lie on its side!  But it’s a great rough water boat.  Any particular problems in construction?

              Hi Yabbi 1
              I started with 2 cast  brass  40 mill props but it seemed under powered so I got 2 40mm props from prop shop and now its doing the same as yours…….Its because the props are cavitating I found if you stop the inboard motor on the turn its o.k and it planes really well………I now have another problem. I decided to build the cockpit so that it can be lifted off and held it on with 2 magnets…….oops… today at the pond I ran her through a wave made by my pals tug and it dropped in the whole and came up out and the cockpit shot staight over the bow into the water…….. we had the rescue boat out but before we could get to the cokpit it had sunk. So now I have to make a new one .. Apart from that  it does look well on the lake
