According to the motor, ESC is underpowered. I needed at least A 60A ESC.
Here, let's have a look at it.

Hey,@Chum444
I missed a part of your comment. The boat is scratch built. The hull was a paid SOLIDWORKS design and turned into a 3d printable file.
Everything but the hull is handmade, including the drive shafts.
I specially ordered for the flare 🎃🔥

Great observation,Chum444!
Yes, it was a stern heavy boat on the first trial. These are my first ever trial photos,i ran again but i don't have any other running photos.
Originally,i didn't plan for opto ESC's. But i had some opto ESC's (these are usually used in drones and very lightweight) and end up using a couple of those. But the original boat ESC's are a bit heavier and the plan was to use them for some weight.
Another problem i noticed,this was a small boat to use a 5200mah 3s lipo. I made a small space under the bridge section for the battery,and the 5200mah just fits. But it made the boat stern heavy while running fast.
One more thing,i added some steel balls to gain some stability under the bridge section+ beside the rudder's. Those made the boat stern heavy as well.
So ,now I'm trying fix them one by one. This was my first ever sportfish & made some silly mistakes,so i appreciate every little bit you guys suggest!
Here, I'm gonna leave some photos of hull no3. She's a better boat than this one. It has bigger and heavier motors(i had emax 2212 1400kv) , front ESC's which are heavy ,and battery space at the center.
I will try to upload a bunch of photos when i can.(it was a custom order) CHEER'S!

@Chris
She goes flying at 75-80% throttle, can't do the full throttle. She's a bit too light, because of balsa wood.
I did put some bearing balls inside though,to gain some weight,it brought back some stability but still can't do the full throttle test. Oh,i did add a couple of stabilizers.

Hello @Flaxby
Thanks for the comment.
Star, was inspired from a British p40 spirit yacht, which is a truly beautiful boat. I found some drawings of the p40 yacht and i did the drawing myself,yes. It's a hundred percent DIY job and i love to do it my my hands. It's a pleasure that I can't deny!
I will leave a photo of the original spirit yacht below my comment.
Cheers! - Sakib

This was an idea from nowhere. Looking at the actual boat's from famous Jarrett Bay Boat work's,they all has Garmin display on the bridge.
Wanted to do the same but what could be a good mini display and what should i show?
My friend, who's good with electronics ,helped me to build these arduino oled displays and did all the coding stuff. So i can put on the Boat name,rpm, distance covered, engine temp.
The black fan is a 12v blower fan for 3d printer. Air cooling.

Thanks a lot for the sharing,Chris!
Firstly, same here. I'm not sure how it will work or even if it will work or not. Hopefully the shafts wont bent, HOPEFULLY.
And the rudder linkage, I'm not sure what you were talking about. I hope you will share some more ideas so i can do better with them.
I live in Bangladesh and there's no Boat shop here. I am trying these ideas so i can know before opening a Boat shop/Hobbyshop. I do get the parts from China but bringing all the part's are kind of expensive so i tried to build some parts myself. R&D 😊

I chose brass because it doesn't catch rust. And i had to cut some threads on the shaft. Brass is softer than SS.
I tried to thread my ss shafts but my drill machine can't handle it.
I don't have lathe either so brass was my only option.
Im putting some photos,there you can see i used brass shaft on them both and they didn't let me down,till now. 😐
So i had to keep faith!

2mm balsa to make the air vent. 2/3mm PVC to build the supports. I will put a layer of balsa on top. The top will be wooden, hopefully.

This is one confusing test I'm doing on the boat.
Normally rudder blades are vertical but on this one i tried a bit angle on them. Sail boats has these kind of angle's.
I'm still not sure,if these will work or not but I'm gonna give a try.
I put a couple of bearings,the the copper pipe and then the shaft. I wasn't sure if the bearings would stop the water so i kept another way to rotate the rudder shafts. But the bearings are good enough. I will put some more white grease on them.
Had some changes on the rudder's arm. Servo arm's are better that the handmade wooden arms.
Any help appreciated!

I had to find a way,how to set up the motor so it can run and vibrate. I found this way myself and it looks promising,till now.
Conventional motor mounting used,made a lot sound and sometimes the universal joints just came out one side.
The way i set the motors now can run free and vibrate.
I wanted to know,how do you do it? Do you ever tried to make a flexible motor mount? If yes,how was it?
On the propeller shaft,im using brass rod,m2. Bought a thread cutter to cut threads on the shafts. It wasn't to hard. Using brass gives me a painless rust free running time.
I would use stainless steel but ss ain't easy to cut threads on it.

Hello Stephan,
I guess you're asking about the plank color.
I just varnished it several times till i love the color on the boat. When it becomes red, i sprayed clear coat. Just these 2.

Hello,mturpin013.
It takes time to print a boat in 3d printer. If you take this boat,it has a 2mm thick hull. Took 2 days approx.
And if you build a fiberglass hull thats very rigid. Wooden hulls also. But a 3d printed hull aint that strong. I put a layer of fiberglass in it. And the part's were together using CA glue.
I'm currently building a 610mm sports fisherman. The front part takes 14 hours to print. Will try to make a blog with it. Wish me luck!

Tried my best to upgrade it into a brushless one. First attempt was brushed and it was kind of a pain in the ass.

Hello everyone,this is my gentleman's cruiser.
3d printed hull, supposed to be a motor launch. I moved away the enclosed bridge space and kept it open with front windshield only.
Did a planking job with balsa wood of 1mm. 2300KV flash hobby motor with 30A brushless ESC.
Normally use a lipo of 850maH for a 10minutes run.
It has also a 2cell 2000mah Li-ion setup inside.
Ask me anything if you want to know.

I actually drop small amount first then i use my 120number sand paper on the joint to genarate some ply powder then put another drip on it.
The powder works great.
