What a sweet deal you got going on! This boat is going to RIP! Make sure you get a weight on that hull and a weight on the complete boat!
Nice hood :wavey:

I suggest to use stock RN tube size, that's 2.5" outside. The exhaust tube in my REV hull also measures 2.5". That's
what Jeff the Great intended and that is what's practical. Be sure to use aluminum not stainless. SS is only rustfree
in the presence of oxygen, saltwater will cause it to rust and separate where it exits the epoxy or 5200 seal.
You don't need to use the customary PC625 battery, the smaller PC545 would suffice, it's only 5 1/8 tall, might be able to fit that in better, it's 6 7/8 x 3 3/16 , 11.7 lbs, that's 1.5 lbs lighter than the 625 and it's 14 versus 19 AH
capacity.

Thanks Im picking up the 2.5 in alumnium tube tomorrow gonna get that in and hopefuly have the hull sealed up tomorrow.then i can start mocking up the motor in the hull to see what i got to do to get it lined up with the coupler since its pretty far off with the vertical mounting kit.Im gonna have to press the halfshaft out about 1/8 in or so to get the front bolt holes to work.then i also need to glass a plate in the front of the hull for the lord mounts then i can tear into the motor. and the battery info was just what i was looking for

got a few more things done this week.got our pole done just gotta do a few more things to make it ready to bolt on.gotta drill for the turn plate and drill for the cables to run thrue.Im very happy with it is light like i was shooting for and very strong and sturdy.the bars look high in the pic but their the same height and angle as when i put an x-metal pole on.
Also got the rear exhaust tube fitted and in.that was a pain because with the hull being shortened and the footholds moved foreward to get the tube to come out where it would in a stock hull it hit the front of the toe on the footholds but i dug out all the foam and got it up thrue it turned out real nice.
I got the hull all sealed up chris spread the milled fibers and epoxy for me while i worked on the poles thanks chris.
i gotta mount a plate in the nose for the lord mounts to screw into for the pipe and then its time to start putting it togather.

I finaly got to see the pole in person and it is nicer than i was expecting.Im very pleased with it.their is a crappy pic with my phone but the chinpad cover is perfect for it its nice an sleek looking.also weighed it today its just shy of 7 lbs and i still got some drilling to do for turnplate and to run cables so its lighter than an x metal i believe.
