Hello Guys,
I have started out with a new boat project.  Grin
I bought 3 sheets of medium density thermocol for  Indian Rupees 100
I made the hull layer by layer...
6 layers of thermocol have been made into a crude shape of the hull. (precise shaping is pending and excess thermocol has to be removed)
I have cut the thermocol using a regular craft knife by heating it using a candle...This method is good if we use a cheap knife as the knife will remain of no use after cutting so much thermocol...

Its a big beast... 1 metre length, 30 cm width and 6 inches height.

The reason for this name for the boat is that I don't know what boat it will turn out to be  Bang Head

I headed out with a goal of making a tugboat bt the shape of my boat's hull ended up more oblongated than a regular tugboat's hull... Bang Head

The hull is in a crude shape right now...
The layers have not been joined together as of now...
I plan to stick them using fevicol marine...

Here are some pics

The black marks on the sides are are due to leaking permanent marker  Grin

Since you're using two motors, why do you need a rudder? Try differential steering. Also, make sure your ESCs are synced in.

You are better off just buying the propellers. Why tissue paper on a boat?

My Take would be red.. Because the Black would make the Bow dip in the water...The red would reduce this dip.
In a fixed shaft ... the thrust point is the Motor mount.
