Dubro #3108 I have in stock will work. But I like the rubber plug better. You could push it in and out as you move the strut have metal bands that hold in place and loosen them to push out and move setup.

Sent $$ Randy. Yeah, I'll figure something out. You think if I put some "barbs" on the tube like one would have on cooling lines that would do it?

Thanks for the $$$ It does not take much but some thing is needed to hold the stuffing tube in place. As far as the boot the barbs will work. Little tired now I will pack and mail tomorrow

Thanks Randy, good job on coming up with them.

Ok, guess I should leave the flood tube alone for a couple weeks and move to bodywork.
This one is gonna take a bit for the bottom. I like good square trailing edges and flat running surfaces so the glazing putty will come into play. Should have plenty of time this weekend.

Well my servo and a few other things arrived yesterday. I am going to try one of these Savox WP servos, Found em for $45

And this has nothing to do with this hull but,check these:

Just some "bling" in the case of the 4blades but the bronze are 4217's for the Fantasm

Oh, and just weighed the hull bare and got 1200 grams or just shy of 2 3/4lbs

So onto hull prep. I have a few issues on this one, there is a strange warp on the rear part of the deck that looks matte on finish but is also somewhat of a line(bad one) in the body. I will smooth it. Here are a couple pics

Next is a little sanding of the seam as I like them to be smooth

You go boy !
While you do that I am going out running mine with bad bottom gelcoat, warps, and lines,
I also will be trying out the to two new kayak rigs and that should be fun I hope.
Keep up the good work,

I'll be back I hope to check on your progress.

Those Savox WP servos are great, I've been using them in all my boats. Plenty strong and very smooth.

Here is how mine go KFX[ATTACH=CONFIG]107545[/ATTACH]for yours you could put slots on the sides for a Velcro strap before glueing in.

Ahhh. Ok. Thx. My straps go through my slots.

Glad to hear as I bought three of them

Ok I have pretty much addressed the seam issue so now the transom. We all know that the best thing for any trailing edge in H2O is a clean one. So this transom is not perfect...

And this is my old school trick that I picked up from Graupner to remedy round trailing edges.
