Hi Roy, no need to apologise, i guessed that you would reply when you had a chance.
Yes, the skegs will cause a slight drag, but considering how close the props are to each other, they're most definitely needed. Will 👍 Like

Hi Will, Sorry for delay in replying! About 1mm clearance between props a brace between stingers, (I know it will cause drag) stops the props (40mm) possibly touching under the forces applied to the stingers in turning etc. initially they where only 0.5mm apart but the brace holds them at 1mm.

How much clearance have you got between those props?
It doesn't look very much at all. 👍 Like

CB90,
That is going to look great when she is all painted up. The only problem is you will have to drive it slow so that other people can see it probably LOL!! Martin555. 👍 Like

That's one very busy rear end Roy. Nicely done👍
Fingers crossed that it doesn't all fly round Batman's ears on the sea trials😮🤞 "Pond rockets" are not exactly my 'thing' either (although I accidentally turned my U25 into one😁) but I really like what you are doing with this one! Hat off Sir, well thought out and executed😀 Can't wait for the trials vid. Holy planing Batman🙈 (This Bat Mask is ruining my hairdo!🤔) 😁 Cheers, Doug 😎 👍 Like

Hi Shipmates,
Thanks for comments, Like always you don't know how a boat will perform until its on the water, then you realise what you have done wrong or right. Its funny that Windermere was mentioned as I live about 30 miles away from it. Shame it has a speed limit of 10mph, if anyone need a big lake the one at talking tarn is 65 acres. and there is a model boat club there, https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalisleMBC/ but no shelter close by. "Talkin Tarn Country Park lies nine miles east of Carlisle and two mile south of Brampton on the B6413 Castle Carrock road. There is a 65 acre lake set amid 120 acres of farmland and woodland. The tarn is an ideal place for active recreation or a quiet stroll through the mature woodlands." Note the servos were dirt cheap from Amazon at £1.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07W47TWY5/ref=dp_prsubs_1 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07W47TWY5/ref=dp_prsubs_2 Regards Roy 👍 Like

Hi Roy,-Starting to look pretty mean at the business end! I have an old 40" Prather DV hull I'd like to do the same to. Used to have an OS .45 FSR in it years ago, but electric has unlimited possibilities nowadays. Just bought one of those JX servos to try as a sail winch, they seem quite a nice servo.
