    My 2 cents. Having the strakes all the way back to the rear will lift and air out the boat a lot. This is good if you are running car motors. But with any motors that produce a decent amount of power I would move them forward and stager them. The size looks good just the placement is off.

    Some 1 on another forum surgested removing a third of the strakes to reduce lift at the rear of the hull,simular to the arrowana hull,what you guys reckon,shall i leave it as is or should i remove.

    well some pics with everything in and CG at 29%/11" from transom, and some adjustments:






    Just gotta add some resin round the water inlets/outlets,motor mount and stringer-rails & stuffing tube,and fix in servo mount.
    Then complete the rear hull deck after modifying it to mount strut and fill in the holes

    You are going to have to put that flexshaft in a tube! The way it is it will flop around and beat the boat to death...destroying it from the inside out!
    only used that small piece to line up the through the transom to the strut,im just installing the rails and longer stuffing tube along with a brace.

    Are you running those batts in parallel...............if in series, which i suspect, you will possibly have some hot batts at only 64a continuous discharge.
    only using these for layout got some bigger rating batts on order,but will be run in series
