That really is a good looking creature. Tough snow conditions for sure, but still a lot better than what I tried to run on! I feel I have to take what I can get, where I am. I love the way it runs, hope you get another chance to run it in better snow. Love the stepped sponsons too.
Listen - spoiler alert - my next year's craft is going to look similar to that. Not copying you! But the general hull style is perfect, like the RC speed record boats. Thanks for the video!
Oh hey, for all the beating my boat took, the edges where I imbedded split bamboo held up perfectly. I'm delighted with the performance of those edges. What's your plan for the stern hull? Maybe the easiest way is to give it a flattening where it's chewed up and rounded, then get two strips of bamboo on the running edges. If you needed that simple V I guess for me I'd flatten it down and glue another piece of foam on it and reshape it, then one bamboo piece.
But you already have a plan equal or better.
