Default RE: new boat

Got the boat today, box was a bit squashed and i feared the worst, but has only a couple of minor marks on it. It weighs in at 1.65kg dry without electronics or fuel, that seems pretty light.

Im going to add-
an auto bailer- are they good? or am I better off with a bug
floatation
seal the hatch with some stick on rubber stuff I have
water pick up to water cool the exhaust (do you think this is neccissary??) seems like a good idea to me.
mod the rudder with a ball link etc.

Engine compartment is pretty tight, though a .21 would look the business in there I have found a cvr os .18 for a bit of a bargain, too good a price to let it go. I had planned just to use the std .15 for a while, but if i get the OS I can sell the .15 as new.

Oh yeah, it also has a TFL Hobby sticker inside the hull, does that mean anything to anybody??
