Default RE: How to build a cheap retrieval boat

Yours is much nicer to look at mate no worries there mine is just practical ,yes i think i will build one mate,then my son can keep his cheap ebay hull and ill rig it with better electrics and a bigger single motor.Any recomendations for a motor for this one? i was thinking maybe a 600-700 echo type motor and a mechanical speed controller etc?.

ps another alternative covering would be brown paper and water proof wood glue then seal it with paint etc,i made a nice cowl for my next hydro using this method and it came out really good,its very strong and rigid but light too.oh and i did have joes blessing to do the cowl as its for my own use only.
