I am sure you will find a nice hull to buy or you may build one !

Hello guys! Below I sum up the progress of the weekend:
1. Glueing the brass tube,
2. Fitting the ball bearings at the end of the brass tube and secure with Loctite,
3. Cutting the motor mounting plate and open the holes (very difficult task),
4. Cutting the horizontal plate of the leg.

Hello guys. I hope you are all good.
Let me share with you the latest progress on my diy outboard shown in the photos below.

Greetings from sunny Greece.

Oh wow Dimm ,that sure looks very nice .
I really like it.
Now lets see what it does behind the boat [emoji1320]

Thank you Alex ! I hope that it will not disappoint me in the water...

Great progress Dim! Looks really neat with the carbon parts.
Seeing this, I want to make one myself as well. Who knows someday.. first paint my T800.

 

[Dim L]

Thank you Jan ! Yes the carbon parts were necessary to make the construction stiff.
I have really missed your posts ! Make one by yourself I am sure it will be very successful.

Looks good, and fast already on the pictures
Basically you can make parts better than the factory ones by doing it all yourself!

 

[Dim L]

Thank you @Unusual RC ! Indeed some parts outboard can be made better some others it is difficult or impossible to do.

Just saw at the TV news about the storm in Netherlands and the persons killed. So sorry guys. Stay safe.

Yes, 4 people killed by falling trees mostly on cars. We were told to stay indoors because of this true danger in advance! Windspeed exceeded 140kmh!

Sorry, not much building going on here. As mentioned, the wheater is really bad here. No chance for painting the hull outdoors. As soon As the wheater improves, I will finish the hull and post updates again [emoji3]

Oh thank you Michael. That would be very helpful indeed.

Hello guys I hope you are all good! Too busy lately...
Below I share with you some photos of the diy outboard. Next step is the steering arms and the cover.

 

[Dirk Jan]

Looking great Dim! I'm curious how it performs. Is it ready for a test run already?

And what motor do you use on it?

 

[Dim L]

Thank you Jan! For a "proper" test run on a boat, no its not ready yet ... it does not have steering arms †!
Just to connect the motor with an esc yes it is ready. But I will not test it yet because I do not grease grease or oil on my hands when i work with glues etc.
The motor is a SSS 2960, 2200 KV, 1300 watts up to 27 volts, that you have mentioned on a discussion that we had few months ago.
I bought it 61 euros (including shipping costs and water jacket) from china it was the last piece and on discount.

 

[Unusual RC]

Very wise to not use grease or any other lubricant before finishing with resin!

It is just the fact your pictures show an almost finished outboard, which it is not
You make us a bit too enthusiastic!

Be careful next time posting such pictures [emoji14]

 

[Dim L]

Thank you Michael for your kind words !
Haha... Sorry for the photos I ll be more careful next time !!
The aluminum parts must also be painted so, you are right, I should be careful with any kind of lubricant.
