Default RE: Curious PT Boat

Tollytime thanks for the photos, they answered several questions. I had a couple of others though. What are you using for batteries? Based on the white plastic plugs on the ECU I am guessing a pair of 6 cell nicad packs like we used to run in cars. Do both motors run in the same direction or are they counterrotating? I need at least one prop or can just buy 2 new ones of some type. I also need a couple of coupling units of some kind to attach the shafts and motors. I am not using original motors but two matched units I already have. New motor mounts are not available but fabricating some should not be a real problem. Some one tried to drill a center shaft in this hull and made a mess of it but it will fix easily. Glad I checked that. Do you locate your batteries forward and do you use much ballast? A couple of parts and 2 or three evenings should have me in the water. I just wish the wind would quit blowing so much. I'm fresh out of sailboats and kites...
