Hi bud,a few down my boat club had problems with taking on water over the sides,i told them how to cure this and have no problems now,
A simple spray rail,placed along where deadrise of the V meets sides it only has to be 3mm lip of wood and problem solved.
Great build by the way,but watch them ESC 's they are not reliable,iv got the proper programming for them from the manufacturer in china who supply these to HK.
you may be lucky by using 2 motors and ESC so they load but still wouldn't bet on them lasting.
Good luck and nice job

Hi.
My first foray into boat speed controllers and have managed to get the correct prog. info, (I think so anyway,Suppo are the makers I believe).
Have had a total rethink on the motor control and will post the results in due course.
Spray rails will work I agree but the full size Aquarama's didn't need them due partly to the fact that they were a near perfect design and most importantly running in full scale water molecules, unlike 10% scale models which have to contend with full scale water.
Most Aquarama models that I have seen run do look ungainly in the water, I am convinced that they are too heavy, grossly under powered and incorrectly balanced, ( boats do have an ideal C. of G. after all ).
Can't prove any of this at the moment but fully intend to.
Mike.
