Default Custom Builds

hey im sort of new to custom building but i thought it would be cool to start a page where people can post builds that people have done or are planing on doing. andi thoughtitd be cool if people gave feedback on and suggesions for builds thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy.
here are a few pics of my two most recent boat builds the first it a surface drive that i have yet to test out and the second is a jet boat that is just too fast

why such low capacity batteries? seems like they would get overloaded, and yes there will be a big diff between 3s. and 4s what is the kv rating on your motor? 4s is an extra 3.7 volts
