Day 15 - 18
As promised though a little late here is the update. As I mentioned I have been concentrating on the internal woodwork - non of this is mentioned or referred to in the instructions or plans and you have to fend for yourself here. Its all a matter of sitting down and working out where you are going to put the internal electrics etc. A rule of thumb is to place most of the weight at the stern and work forward decreasing each time. So this is my plan.
Stern - The main motor battery packs - above that the sound module, speaker and small 12v battery. Middle - Drive motors obviously. Forward - All other components, receiver, speed controllers, small battery for receiver and a couple of switches for On - Off and lights etc.
The forward woodwork is removable at the moment but once all the components are in place and I have primed the hull I will secure it with Epoxy. I decided to make a shelf section under the rear cabin above the batteries, this will hold the sound system and its power. A spare motor mount from the Hunter makes for a great speaker box.
