Yep the daughter boat, only those who are familiar with lipo could help, it would also be advisable to determine the weight that would be needed, say a few washers added and when at the limit then weigh them

Are we talking about the daughterboat? Yep it floated ok just above the waterline with all running gear except a battery! I need a battery about half the size of  a pp3 that kicks out 6v - 9v and as light as possible  %% the esc has a bec built in so no probs there.


something like this will give you 7.5v to 8.0v at a much higher amperage than the 9v, and weighs less than half:   (link is just an example of what to look for)

That one is certainly worth exploring Tsenecal, although if it were 10mm shorter in length it would make fitting a lot easier. I'll see if I can source one in the UK or Europe and have a play around with fitment, offhand weight could be an issue, but I'll try warspite's idea of floating it with metal washers until I get to the waterline then see how much they weigh.
