The only thing I've been wondering about is why on this boat you have your motor at a steeper angle than the last build. Nothing is wrong with it I'm just curious
It's mostly just the way the hardware works out. I try to get the end of the coupler really close to the deck to keep the motor weight as low as I can. I'm also thinking about the length of the stuffing tube from where it exits the hull to the nose of the strut. I knew my motor was going to mount a bit more aft than usual (I'm running really big batteries up front) and since the tube has to be straight where it enters the strut, it needs to be straight slightly before as well. All this added up to a steeper angle helping the drive geometry. I'll show you tomorrow.
Lookin' good 👍

@Dr_Jet definitely sounds like your the man with the plan🤔👌
@@jimstone5339 Scratch-built FE boats are a thinking man's game. I think that's why I'm drawn to it. Every new hull is a new challenge.
