Hello all,
This is my first boat build of any kind.After seeing some of the other members wildthing builds i realized i had everything onhand to build one.
It's 24'' and i plan on running two IB 4200mah stick packs and i will be useing the EVX-2 esc(traxxas) and one 550 emaxx motor 23t.
I will be building all of the hardware myself from alum and brass.I am useing a speedometer cable from a real car to make my flex drive it is a 1/8 dia flex wire.

So what kind of speed should i see with this set up?Will a 24'' wildthing be able to get up on a plane with two heavy nimh bat packs.
I can not aford brushless and lipo,i know that would be better but it is not an option for me.
One more thing i built it all from 1/8 ' plywood lauan door skin,bottom sides and all the bulkheads.

I will take all the help i can get since this is my first boat,i have been into nitro and electric trucks.
here are some pics of my boat so far
