Rescue me! Rescue boat build

[Basstronics]

Getting back into this.

After I switched up the back end this baby ran phenomenal. Its really fast for what it is and fun, very responsive.

But its time to get to the dirty on this. Its purpose is to rescue. I got the following scheme. Im not to deep in and if anyone sees a flaw in my idea I can change.

I will side mount those with nylon bolts so they can break instead of breaking the hull. They go up and I have a couple elbows so I can angle the next set of tubes as needed. This runs into the tees positioned as such, can be any angle I choose also. Then the front forks, nice and wide. I will wrap the forks with pipe insulation or pool noodle. I got a set of spnsons off a little rigger that died and I was thinking of putting one on the outside of each fork to maybe get the fork up on plane instead of plowing thru the water.

Thoughts?

I made mine as small as possible for transportability (here is vid). This was its easy to stick in the car. Also I have been thinking a cage around the out drive would increase the reliability and durability.
Do you have reverse? It is really nice. Really low kv with a bigger prop is a good way to keep from burning things up and reducing consumption. I've had some pretty demanding recoveries, like pushing a big boat up wind in big chop for 2-3 minutes solid.

The power train needs to be like a tug.

Good luck.

Oh, up turned boom ends are nice for keeping them from going under the boat to be retrieved.

Here is a shot of a club member's retrieval boat. It runs on 2S2P with a cheap 40mm outrunner spinning a plastic Octura 1260 prop. Plenty of power and low amp draw. The huge rudder makes short turning radii a breeze. The video shows it bringing in a P Sport Hydro.
