Default RE: Boothbay Oyster boat

Tug,
Certainly looks like it's from the same plans. Also see that you made the cabin door open, wish I'd'a thought of that befor going to far.
For what it's worth, the manual recomended making the hatch open to provide cooling for the ESC and motor. No idea how much it helps, but my ESC does get kinda 'warmish' even with the hatch open (too chicken to try it closed). Also wish I'd'a used a metal rudder, but, no biggy.
Completely beside the point, I removed the 'Becker' rudder today. The method I used for hinging it was on the stiff side (didn't really mean to remove it but broke the plastic hinge while trying to make it more 'limber'. I'm a genius at fixing things @#$%).
