Check this out:

He shows how to run the prop shaft through a tube, which can then be installed in the hull. This guy did pretty much what you are doing: https://www.rcuniverse.com/articles/editorial/i-picked-up-a-used-gas-rc-boat-what-am-i-doing/ Anytime i build a boat, which isnt often anymore, i cheat and buy a cheap-ish boat from Amazon or eBay, and just use that hull as a starting point. This is my latest, going on 8 months because I'm not sure what i want to build out of it, starting point: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Heng-Tai-1...373730?hash=item5b8809e4e2:g:2osAAOSw1k9f99xM
