All of the hardware and running gear are now reinstalled. All I have to do is complete the plumbing for the water cooling and seal the front half of the hull off from the battery/speed control/motor compartments so that it is water tight. The bulkheads and stingers have some gaps between them and the decking and other outer hull sheeting. While the whole front half is full of styrofoam, I still want it water tight so that it won't sink when (not if) I flip it.
It's kind of surprising, and somewhat concerning, just how heavy it feels. Like I wonder if it will even float heavy. Like it's gonna sink like a bowling ball heavy. I knew it would be heavier than its original design intent, which was built around a .35 size control line airplane motor. But this is really concerning. I think once it's sealed up I'm going to float it in the bath tub, just to see.
