I'm not sure about the clearence at the bottom from the hull. Hopefully this will fit coz i just bought it. I'm not going to cr\y if it doesn't as it's quite cheap! Ron, the boat is running very smoothly in that video. I just hope mine will also run like that. I'm not hoping for a high speed as long as it doesn't run like a shopping basket i'd be happy!
And thanks to both of you in advance for your help and no doubt i'll be asking heaps of questions in the future with the build.
Ross, my name is Justin in North Island.
