Ok so Ive decieded that I want to build a deep v boat. Something about 3 feet long. Not sure if Iwanna do single prop or dual prop. And Im not sure if I wanna do wood or fiberglass. I would like to have a minimum speed of around 30 fps. Iplan on running it in the ocean, its a bay so there isnt to much surf. I plan on building the circuit, transmitter/receiver my self. I understand Ill need to get some parts like motors and props and such but I wanna build as much of this boat from the ground up. Ive looked at a few different rc boats and one Iliked featured twin props recessed under the boat with wire guards over them which seems like a good idea due to kelp. So Ineed help on the hull design, a little info on any pros/cons with fiber/wood build, single/dual prop, and maybe any other info Imay have missed.

I had thought building my own transmitter, so I could have the exact features I wanted. But would have used a standard 2.4Ghz RF module and receiver. Do you think you can handle the RF section of a transmitter and receiver build?

Well Im currently in school for electrical engineering but we havent gotten into rf yet. Ithink Iwill in the next quarter tho. Iwas however thinking of using Wifi for my transmitter and receiver. It should give a better range and add the ablity to add peripherals in the future.

I wish you all the best of luck in your build. i will stay tuned to this station and await further developments, as I am curious to see what you'll come up with.
