Hi all, just wanted to share a build video i made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6_DqBTy35s May be helpful or inspire with your build.

Interesting build. Where are you in NZ? The pond you are running on is a nice one!
You could perhaps move the CG back to get the front up a bit, I doubt you will manage to blow it over easily.

Thanks. I was going to try a few things like that to see how it effects performance. The 3 runs you saw are the only runs so far.

Very nice and original! How does the weight compare to a similar sized fibreglass boat?

Very cool man... ����

I'm sure its a bit heavier than a carbon or grp hull depending on the thickness as 2mm alloy sheet weighs about 46% more than 2mm carbon sheet. Will post the weight once i weigh it.
