Thanks guys,

I'ts a pity about the dumas props, I'm hoping the AquaCraft Nitro Hammer prop will work ... if not I'll have to order some Octuras.

I've got the motor and drive shaft mounted without a the universal ... it feels very smooth .... no binding that I can tell. I'll post some more pics soon ..... Hope to test run this weekend.

I think I'll run without strakes etc. first .. see how it goes.

Crash

PS: when mounting trim tabs should they placed flush with the bottom running surface or slightly higher? I think I've seen examples of both setups.
