Need opinions from owners of the Stealth 45 radio box that comes with the boat?

Is it the front box?

Rear

Rear

Order a front!
Unless you want to pipe sticking out through the rear deck.
Front is best in my opinion.
Fuel tank under the STBD side deck, outboard of engine.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[douglong]

Pipe will be sticking through the rear deck

Box is fine there BUT.. it is a tick more work to tape up and what not.. in the end they work just fine.

Heck of a lot easier to hook up the throttle servo!!! LOL

i was not sure what opinion you need. Square box, tape on lid, dont leak.
The rear box has room for three servos, but you can use a waterproof servo in the rear of the boat. Use a servo extension thru the box wall seal the wire with some 5min epoxy. Front fuel tank make fuel line plumbing simpler fuel tank weighs more than radio box .
As posted above the front box maintains the weight in the front with the fuel on the left side at the balance point. We like to have the weight a bit more on the left anyways. This boat like a bit more weight in the front sponson tips like about 4 oz each side either way you go with radio box setup...

Look for the marks for the mounting screws on floor of the hull and box, use 6 32 screws thru bottom and tnuts in box
