Geared or no gear. Also 11.1v for a 13" rigger! Its going to be a bullet not a boat. how many amps are you going to draw thru the speed controller with that setup

Sposons are sandwiched on mine, with one layer left out on each. Was told by the designer it will handle better that way, sure seems to.

the sidewalls on the tub are 1 3/4 inches tall. My plan is to install the motor and everything else, then sand the sides down to the top height of everything in the boat for a nice tight fit.

How bout some pics of your boat? If you have room it's hard to beat a 1.5 oz outrunner motor 2600kv with a 20amp esc and 1320mah 3 cell lipo but your talking some money here. What's your budget? You might want to go with a speed 400 setup. How fast do you want to go$$$$$$$. Let us know, we can help.

Funny you should ask. Working on the mold as we speak. I was thinking fiberglass just from a cost standpoint. Don't know if anybody wants to spend the bucks for carbon on a boat this small. What do you think?

Well if a lot of people want it then go to fiber glass because of the money.
But personally i don't mind spending the extra money on a carbon fiber hull.
if you could do it in CF , that would be great.

I am lnterested in the fiberglass boat. I am actually learning glass this summer from a local guy. I want to try to provide fiberglass riggers that are american made. not going to go into production, just going to offer to some people in the hobby. But not going to be for a while, so yes let us know how your glassing for this boat is going.

I now must admit something here, this boat is not for me, its not even mine, but before you get upset let me explain...

This is a boat I am building for my girlfriend. Yes I was going to keep it slower but after she just saw the video on yor site she wants a brusless outrunner or the mamba system.
Iwas thinking of keeping it for myself but she would kill me if I did that.

So when you can sell a glass or carbon boat, let me know.

It was a handful with the plastic prop today as the water was rough, can't wait for some smooth water and that metal prop
