Bug on my friend! And yes happy to see this boat coming together even if it isn't gas!
The delivery for the electric can also be muted a little at the start with the ESC's. I have the option for a "soft start" which slowly increases the power instead of just a solid dump of all 40+ volts. So that should help. I'm not building a drag boat, I'd rather have a wave choppin machine!
And yes, I've done stickers for years and have done a couple wraps. The nice part about doing a wrap is you can have them print up the design on the wrap so it makes it nice that way. We'll see. I don't have a printer for sticker so I have to have that part done but I'm liking the idea more and more. Coming up with a design is a whole other nightmare I have to figure out!
