    Hi, I am building a Nimbus mk 3 IOM and have completed the planking and sealed the hull with woven glass cloth and epoxy, How should I go about painting for the final finish , Not sure on what primers and paint will work ?

    Alan,
    Where are you positioning the batteries? I presume under the cockpit floor, if so how do you seal the cover?
    Simon,

    Thanks Alan, your boat looks really nice, why the 2 holes in the fore deck?
    I have only just started the build I will post some pictures later.
    I see you have a water cooling jacket on your motor , I will be buying a new motor as the only power sources I have are sails , this is my first motor build. is it worth getting a water cooled motor .
    Simon.

    Hi, I am new to powered rc boats having previously only had sail boats, I am building an aerokits sea rover and really have no idea on the motor , esc , batteries , prop size etc . Is there somewhere I can find out what will work with what . Is water cooled worth thinking about ? Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Simon
