well as an update things are attached to the boat now lol. building has gone without a hitch. I hate to say it but I used bondo, specifically bondo short stand fiberglass. Stuff actually is great, cures in about 3 minutes, and is really strong. I made the delta out of cardboard, super glued it in and bondo'd it from both sides. I used the original villain motor mount but modified it to work backwards (the motor is where the transmission should be. I'm in the process of fabricating an intake grate, using 1/8" acrylic and aluminum plate. So far the boat weighs far less than either of the boat the parts came from. Next is steerring, planning on using the villain steering hardware to some extent.

Remember things are not complete yet, and I know the bondo is ugly, it takes some time to pretty it up, besides the interior is getting a lot more mounting shelves and such. Also I assure you the bottom edges are completely sharp, the bondo just hides it. I cant wait to paint, but Im not painting at all, till this thing hits the water for the first time.
