I'm slowly working through a long list of things to do on my Smit Nederland restoration.
If i run the motors up to full speed quickly, there's a lot of initial vibration, most of it seems to be where the support struts join the prop tubes to the hull. There's nothing loose, but there is a bit of 'flex' in the hull at that point. I was thinking about reinforcing the inside of the ABS hull around the mounting points for the struts.
What would be best. A few layers of plastic card epoxied in place, one at a time. A bit of fibreglassing?
Any thoughts?

PS. The props/shafts seem to be true and balanced as they run sweetly and vibration free once they're going. And I'm going to get some ESC's with 'soft start' and good low speed control. I'd just like to do a belt and braces job and cover all the bases.
