Some updates.
I did some more graphics on the hull in silver carbon vinyl, and white pin striping.
I received the hardware and installed it. I made a backing plate out of Delrin to help support the rudder/strut. I installed the drive tube and shaft. I completed the cooling jacket for the Tekin, and it holds pressure. It also has a lot more volume than the typical cooling jacket which is good for burst cooling. But, I did decide to pickup a different motor too. I will complete the boat with the Tekin motor, but I will switch to the leopard motor when I am more comfortable with the boat.
The Leopard is a 4200 watt 4-pole unit 1480kv. That's about 5.6 Horsepower on 6S at 115 amps. I got a good deal on ebay for it. I think it's too much power but we shall see.
