Moving on along.
A few updates and needing input along the way.
1 - I cut one rib off bringing the overall length to 42".
2 - I see now why a lot of you go with a pusher. Seems the rudder assembly will be easier to work with.
3 - Being an old gas boater, I'm going to try using a set of Speedmaster mounts. Had to change them around to get the prop clearance needed.
4 - Next is my tower issues.... Had no choice but to go with 1/2" light ply. When I say light, its not as heavy as normal stuff, but quite strong. Hope it isn't overkill. Once its situated and decided on everything, I'll cut a few more lightening holes.
Hope to use a 500ml gas bag under the engine. Other than that, I'm burned for ideas. I'll go to the shop and stare for twenty minutes at it trying to get the proper thought path.
Chat next weekend.
