looks good to me, looks durable too...and fast... just a tip from my expieriences, if that is a balsa stick on the bottom of the hull, Id remove it. My expieriences proove(to me) that balsa sticks to everything, as in it'll keep you from moving, but since you have such a big motor, probaly wont bother you, oh and it absorbs water :o . But i like it, simple, the way it should be!

i tested it out earlier and it moved prety good but i have a different motor on it now than when i tested it. i had a 6v sp400 on it and now i have a 7.2v sp400 because i am going to be running 3s lipo on it insted of 9.6v nihm. should be fun and give me somthing to play with on the windy days.
i can do 360's on my floor with the new motor :D
