View attachment 203822looks ok to me but not tinted
can't paint it
Itll look ugly as hell
i added the yt logo and yt name
For sure ill be using this as an advertisement
on youtube

Try some real window tint. If u can still remove window cut the tint the curve of the window

It's hard to believe that this just gets better and better, it's already awesome!

It's going to be interesting to see how stable this boat will be in the wind, with the height and all.
Again, the build is outstanding!

Hahaha fingeres crossed
I dont have any idea yet how stable this will be on the water
Its level fine floating
I'm thinking I'm going to need ball bearings and glue it on the hull

Holy cow this is looking amazing!

Thanx man

Greta mind think alike
Thats what i did
Removed it couldnt stand it not having a tint
Went to walmart buy that car window tint
Since i have so much extras
I'm thinking of puting a windshieled on the second deck

It's hard to believe that this just gets better and better, it's already awesome!

Thanx man

I always thought the upper deck you call crow's nest was called a "fly bridge"?
The flybridge is the top deck where mechanical controls for the boat are.
A weather deck is the top deck. Not sure if there's another name on a fishing vessel.
I feel smaaaht now!

I need a view of those .echanival components
I dont have any clue what those things looks like

Worst case scenario: perhaps a removable keel.

Wouldnt the ball bearings act as a keel if its inside the hull on the middle?

I believe with the weight even further below the bottom of the boat, I believe creates more leverage and in doing so allows the use of less weight at the bottom of the keel.
That's how rc sailboats are designed.

That would work for sure but then
It will not look like a sports fisherman yacht anymore

Just incase i will need a weight at the bottom to counter weight the tower

Well, you can't really see the keel when the boat is in the water. That's why I had previously stated a removable system.
Hopefully, you can get enough weight to lower the center of gravity enough to compensate for the overall height.

I'm working on it right now
The wind will tilt it on its side
Not enough to flip over
But I'm working on it to make it more stable from wind and waves
Without the tower no problems
Needs a ballast at the bottom

 

[Greywolf74]

And exactly where do i find those numbers?
Is it marked somwere on these bulbs cause i dont see any marking on them

Sorry, I was sick for a few days there. The specs should be on the lights, maybe the packaging, or maybe the website where you bought them. I can do it without the LED Current Rating if you can't find that, but I have to know how many volts the LEDs are rated for and how many volts your battery is that will be running the lights. If you can't find the current rating, then I'll need to know how many LEDs are in the cluster.

Thats the difference, ballast vs a keel for stability.
You might get the stability and height from adding ballast in creative ways.
If not there are options including the removable keel, trim tabs if its for stability underway too.
Do boats like this use "birds" too?

Trying other things for stability

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

Finally got it figured out my lights
Continue adding more lights
And the ballast problem is done

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

Almost done with the project

 

[PewPewChris]

Really cool stuff man, great job

 

[WickedFog]

I can't wait to hear how she does. Absolutely beautiful build man!

 

[Doom!]

This is so impressive!

 

[Xraycer]

Can you imagine @ARRMAgeddon and @johnnydmd collaborating on a custom rc build?

 

[Greywolf74]

That is a beauty fo sho!
