good use of Dickies tug superstructure , your hull is beautiful ! I built a tug/yacht which has similar shape but shorter , agreat sea boat ! Wales UK.
Base it of a cape boat, but fallow the 2-1 rule, for every foot long, it is half a foot wide Example - 34'long an17'wide In the total height cannot exceed 90% of how wide the vessel is, and all ballast at or below the water line
Slipway has nice models for sure. On my Haven 34 hulls I have used a standard 540 dc motor because they are inexpensive and the running gear is easy to find on eBay. Electronics to run these motors are also easy to replace as well. One motor will push my hull far over hull speed. My objective is always to keep RC motors, running gear and electronics simple and affordable. For a much larger model say 5 or 6 feet long I would be tempted to look at 775 motors but the associated mounts, running gear, batteries and electronics would probably be more heavy duty. And possibly harder to find and more expensive. On the other hand the 775 is a tough powerful motor and may be more in line with your build. Brian RCWH
A respectful suggestion is to use a Dremel for cutting out fiberglass way easy and more precisely. Here is the video where I used it on my sailboat project, best! ua-cam.com/video/jW0bcMleb74/v-deo.html
We are planning to offer hulls in the not so distant future, but right now we're in the early stages of production. If you'd like to message me your email I'll add you to our mailing list and notify you once we start taking orders.

Hi. I have a Slipway rc boat that requires two 12volt motors. Which do you think is better , two 775 motors or MFA 540/GEARED 1/6 ? Thank you

I have a qwestion. Where could we buy the fiberglass base?
We mould our own fiberglass hulls and will eventually be offering them for sale at some point in 2023.

Hello
Would you sell a fibreglass hull and deck ? Thanks
