Hi AJ i think its 8 mm ply if my memory serves sandwiched between the glass and carbon,if you have a hole saw you could cut some plugs from some ply to fit the two larger holes.

Marine ply if you have it,if not a good quality outdoor grade ply will do as its going to be sealed anyway when you cover it with carbon and epoxy resin.

I have built the plugs for drive holes, and epoxied them in. While curing, the epoxy shrunk a bit, so I will need to give it a second layer.
Do I have to wait 3 days for it to fully cure before adding the second layer?

Hello again,
paintshop done, this time I had the transom painted white, and added the boat's name: "With Her..."
Other minor modifications, and now the drives sit where they should have in the first place.
In the last days I have also worked on the engine, that now features an electric starter. I used the E-Starter II kit from Arrow Shark: if you are planning to use this on a RCMK S520 twin, be advised that you will have to modify the engine mount on the pull-starter side by boaring out the hole in front of the flywheel.
Here are some pics:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am considering to sell this beautiful boat once finished
I could sell it as an RTR, with all it needs to run, including the new Futaba PK4S radio system.
If interested, PM me with offers (5 digit USD) and for queue.

NOW THAT LOOKS THE BEEZ"S KNEES.
Noticed the hole on the right hand trim tab the link is at the top of the hole if the trim tab where to move any higher it would foul on the hole. The left seems right.
Looks great. Great work on the refit.

How about a shot of that new starter? Do you like it? It is much better than the first unit.

RCMK owners: note the boared out engine mount - this kit will not fit without the modification shown!!

I could sell it in order to get the cash for a new project, this time probably a BIG kat, like the HPR 2,33mt.
Not leaving the hobby at all!!
