i've sunk my 25" deep V fast electric boat twice, lost a mini camera and GPS unit in the process (boat was retrieved both times and the flotation up front did'nt work) after drying out for a few days also, the only thing that didi'nt work was the esc, a little hole in the waterproofing was just enough to let water in a nd fry it, thereceiver and servo was waterproofed in little balloon's
and yes its a horrible feeling to watch all your work go down at the stern (at the same time it was quiet funny to watch it sink)
does that mean i can join the club as a skipper aswell now LOL ???
