ya i just got done cutting the bottom part off where the shaft used to exit on the turbo vee and i fiberglassed it. imgonna used stock electronics on it[&o] but will hopefully upgrade later tho. im using a 4mm shaft and the same rudder but it will be modified. i also foudnd out that fiberglassing is easyer than i thought, anyway,
good luck to all of you,
mike

Hey guys, sorry for a delay in the pics. Later that day i couldnt resist not giving it a test run, so i hooked up my xl5 esc and got everything running on a 7cell. Put it in the water, got on plane quite quickly then i noticed it wasnt riding well and sat low in the water. Well, i had about 2 cups of water inside and have a major leak. Im going to seal it all up tonight and hope it doesnt happen again. I tried uploading the pics but my computer is not responding to the camera. I will try again later.

Wheelnut- looks like we'll be busy the next few days. lol.

To be honest, im not sure. It came on my aquajet 550 stock, so which ever prop those come with is what i have on.

Nice so far.
I see some burs on that prop. Try and sand it clean. Also that prop seems to be riding high. It should be pointing down some more so it is lower in the water. But the angle of the pic may be tricking me. See if you can get a side view that is level with the bottom of the boat from the side.
