ML Boatworks GP310 build

[Luck as a Constant]

thanks guys. i have an esc coming along with the cooling system parts to button that up. i bought a cf battery tray I'm going to modify for the esc, since i didn't know where to find them anymore. i also have a set of graphics coming from Wesleys Graphics. hopefully those don't take forever.

I will also be wrapping a lot more of the boat with clear Vinyl before decals.

I got busy cutting down the battery tray to use as esc mount. Glued that in with asi silicone as well as move the radio box to the other side. The motor cooling can fit nicely. Now I. An get the cooling system all rigged up and tested.

If you wanted to, could you use a tail ring on that short motor?

Haha rite? I have no idea if it’s gonna be a good runner or not yet I’m going thru all this making it pretty. lol. Oh well, hopefully it’s all good. To be honest, I have other hobbies and I was starting from nothing here. Also spring just broke here in NE so, soon. Soooooooon.

Working on the hatch

as many of us know, fiberglass can warp, and the hatch really needed some way for holding it down. in the front i used a piece of 1/8 birch ply to slip underneath the front lip, then cut a block of 1/4 to fit inside and fill the gap so the hatch seats on that. then i dyed it black and coated with epoxy before using asi silicone to glue it up in from underneath, then drilled and used thumb screws to hold down the front

And the rear section

i didn't have room to really make any kind of thumb screw hold down back here, so i cut a couple of carbon tabs, and cut two smaller to go under, creating a small gap where the tabs can slide under the back deck and hold the rear in place. i used asi silicone again for them.

also, holy *!***!***!***!** I've been building for 8 months!!! wtf lol

[ray schrauwen]

Yup, takes time!

My 265 took 3 years, lol... I've done a whip 40 in 3 weeks.

I have fixed some FG cowlsn aminatingting with carbon or carbon/kevlar and while curing I force the warp in other direction with weights and rigging.

Yeah I was never in a hurry to build. I had a vision in my head and just took the time to make that vision a success. Hopefully I’ve built it well and it runs nice
