Well, I started my U-10 Smokin Joes build over the last week. This will be an electric setup. I got Speedmaster hardware, Virgina Craftsman turn fin, Neu 1527 1.5Y motor, OSE water cooler, a really really nice motor mount made by Williams racing. Best motor mount I have ever owned honestly. This boat will be run as 10s1p, and the ESC I have yet to decide on. I also have the PGI decal set, and Dupont Specktramaster yellow, an HOK Purple.
So far, I have mounted the rudder, turn fin, spot glued the motor mount, and I took the 3 piece cowling set that Phil sells with it and bonded the front two pieces together, cut the rear turbine cover off the rear hatch and bonded it to the front two pieces. Since the underside will have its own hatches, I needed the cowling to come off in one piece to access the battery hatch cover. I will start on the bonding in the fin attachment points at the rear, make the hatch covers and install the strut next. Enjoy for now. Mike
