Here is my proof of concept first try at any kind of boat. I have helicopters and wanted to use the spare parts I have. So I went to Kmart to see if I could find a low cost boat. I got this one for $16.99. I looked thru hobby lobby boat parts to find some rudders that would work. I machined some aluminum for the rudder shaft to fit in. I did not want to spend all a lot of time building a boatfor this ducted fan because I know nothing about boats. So I went to the park near me that has a big lake. I The rudders do a good job of steering it. The fan was loose and would turn a little bit and you loose steering. Did not have the tools with me to fix it at the lake. Did not matter anyway because the dx7 started beeping for low battery ..LOL Hope in a few days I will get to try again. Here's a few pics..
