      Just wrap a brass tube with carbon cloth if you want the look

        Cooper you are right only if the tube has small inner diameter.

        Bigbore the tube must be at least 6mm inner with brass bashing.
        This way you can have the ability to trim your stringer.
        For shaft saver me a gap on the shaft and carefully place a grab screw.

          The grab screw rotates with prop shaft or pass through the stinger? Do you have a pic of your saver?

            Pass through the stinger.
            Be sure if the grab screw is 2mm the gap must be 4-5mm.

              I have made the first two video of this boat.

              Self righting test with 4S:


              Some minutes run at 50 mph on flat water at a pond near to my house:

                    What does that mean? Wet?

                      It means it's a really great job, well done. Very fast boat and 5 seconds to flip back over. Never need a recovery boat unless something burns up inside. Fit and finish are beautiful also.

                          I tought It was a little wet on that run and I will try to loose her (more dry) and see if is better.

                            That is a awesome job. I would buy that hull for sure. The carbon fiber makes it.

                              You did such a nice built on this boat. I can only speak for me an old guy that runs for sport by myself sometimes, to have a 50 mph boat that can right itself is worth it to me. I have been looking at the over seas builds just for that reason. I would push that one more than my Revolt and not have to worry about retrieving. Again great job.

                              It's the same here! I've built this boat to run it in open sea without worry. I will film this baby in open sea rough water in the following months.
