What is the correct center line for the shafts to exit threw the transom of the sponson? Hope you do not mind giving out a little info, I want to do the best work I can, what the boat deserves.

    This individual Damon has sent me dozens of emails asking questions on building that same rig, Said he was experienced building RC and he is apparently getting a second 2.33. Over his head in my opinion. Best of luck to him, and you Randy.


    I sent you a pm randy to my arclight build, last page, you will see what you need to do, After you decide where the motor and output alignment is first.

      I have the pictures of the Geico boat with the two twins in it, It looks like iabout 1/8 of and inch from the edge.

          I built a couple where without modding the inside of the hull I could only get so close to the inside edge but I kept them level with the bottom and it worked fine. Dremeling away at the inside of the hull felt awful but I did do some to get the bolts in and backing plates.

            This boat is so pretty, I wonder how thick the sides and the bottom are? the fillets are nice and thick. I have been looking at the build that grail pointed me to.

                    Be very proud Grail VERY proud of the talent and skill you have. The basics are the same, but your attention to the detail is unreal. Those boats could double in movies. I LOVE the skeleton coming out of the ripped paint. Thanks a million for sharing.
