Charged the 10.000mAh battery
and the first 10 minute sea trials are done.
Still unfinished cabin, etc, but not that bad first test.
crappy video if interested

I covered the motor casings with heat transfer compound and with the watercooling after that 10 min run everything was cold to touch.
Also painted the rubbing strakes satin black, and as the masking tape was pulled off, some of the blue paint was lifted also! -and the gray primer AND the
plastic primer... glad it only destroyed 20cmx8mm section under the strake and was able to dab it blue with a tiny brush... (now it looks like scale corrosion, lol)
Was thinking of ditching that huge christmas tree mast and maybe add flybridge or just lower mast for radar and install the running lights on the cabin sides and roof.
Ordered some lights and stuff from cornwall, will see if I got the correct sized stuff, never ordered any scale lights b4 so it is a bit of a trial and error...
