Glass the bottom for reinforcement(rough up bottom first for glass to attach to), look at hobby king and get kb45, a 120amp esc. Make a stronger motor mount. Get cooling jacket for motor. A good one, not the coil wrapped stuff, it should be a sleeve that fits over the motor with rubber rings on the side. Unfortunately the batteries would need to be replaced, probably with 5 cell 5000mah to start, maybe 6 cell. If you go 6 cell you would need lower rpm motor compared to 5 cell. I believe ryan can let ya know which way to go. Ummm... also ... ok, the hardware on the back should be changed too. Essentially the steering needs to be separated from the drive shaft. Looking at the pics you can do this to save money on hardware. Cut the rudder off, put some metal on the hinge where the rudder turns, so your essentially locking it in place. Ummmmm... you'll need some flex drive stuff, .150 size, get some brass that just fits over it. A drive dog that fits in where the prop sits(it's essentially a small piece of metal that holds prop that slides in to the black piece of steering on the back there. Have the brass tubing replace the other there in the pics right up to the black (can't remember name) rod holder at the back. Then you would just need to buy a rudder.


Wouldn't be the prettiest, would still be better to get a whole new boat with fibre glass hull and some decent hardware but it should work. Ensure batteries are really secure(I mean velcroed with a wrap over top, you don't want them flying on sudden stops, it would destroy boat), spray foam or just foam whole front of boat. If you spray foam, do it in small amounts over a couple days as it will deform hull while expanding(get low expanding stuff, it's construction stuff).

Oh and replace all connectors with deans, ummm I personally soldier wires directly to ESC. Cheaper, easier only problem is if it goes reverse, resoldier and switch two wires.
