Hey look...another Floridian! [8D]
We need to get together sometime.

Nice job on the build! Have you got it wet yet? Does it run dry ground?





Not trying to highjack your post, but thought that this tiny airboat may interest you.

I like the looks of your hull! Nice clean lines and good cuts.

How much does she weigh?

If you haven't already, I would suggest using mechanical fasteners in addition to the adhesive to mount the motor pylon. Just a little extra insurance against vibration and collision damage.
