Tom,
Boat looks good! I think the boat will break in half and sink before those servos come loose! Man, those are some beefy servo mounts and hardware!!!!

looking real nice I like the radio box good job. Looks like you will be in the water soon !
The fuel tank in front of the engine looks easyer to fuel up and lower in the hull .
Keep up the good work !

RE: EXPRESSCRAFT GTX BUILD W/TWINS
Thanx for the compliments guys !!
Raj,
The plastic tank is out of an Arctic Cat Kitty Cat Snowmobile... Early 90's I think.LOL
I work at a Dealership and saw it laying around and thought it would work someday in one of my boats....
Somewhere around $20 I think..
Has a nice outlet on the bottom which i will run a "Y" fitting off from for the engines..
Thanx, Tom

Hi,
Yes , That was the fuel tank I was going to use.... Now I'm going with the one between the rails just set in in the pictures...
I'll remove the other tank soon.. Wasn't sure which way I was going to go with the tanks..
LOL

HI,
Just finished up the radio box.. throttle servo and cable all set and steering servos installed with linkage.. Fuel tank mounted and fuel lines run to carbs..
I haven't put in the receiver yet and tried it out. Maybe tomorrow..
Ice starting to form on the Lake
Looks like I'm running out of time to get i tin the water this year..
Will give me plenty of time to figure out a Paint Scheme...
Enjoy.. Tom H.

All I can say is WOW. I love it! I am sure it's gonna be fast, and I dig the looks of a nice I/O unit. Very, , very, very nice.

RE: EXPRESSCRAFT GTX BUILD W/TWINS
Just an update..
Put receiver in and everything seems to work great. Throttle is fine and dual servos for the outdrive work awesome !!
I'm used to just seeing the rudder turn when steering.. LOL
Nice to see the outdrive unit move.
Just waiting on some more parts and then it will be Paint/Decals time..
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year...

RE: EXPRESSCRAFT GTX BUILD W/TWINS
those are two PUM's by the look of em...i think their modded somehow (full or mid mod) plus MHZ has prices that are hundereds of dollars more than they should be...
like i said, xxx can set up zens like that, theres a thread somewhere where he setup a tripple inline zen.
and ive seen the hardware to combine two zens somewhere...i forgot tho, i think it was oneil bro's, or not...

RE: EXPRESSCRAFT GTX BUILD W/TWINS
That triple was an early trial. Something I was experimenting before kits were available. Not a solid design.
I have since picked up some kits from XXXBoatworks.com. So much better than what I had going. Triples are not a real safe configuration either. I have opted for a pair of twins (destined for the same hull tom is working up). My problem is that winter has been a little too harsh to get any work done in the shop.
Go for a XXX setup. Many benifits the overpriced MH$ inline cant match

Tom,
Here is the first rendition of MOJO scheme
Also a rendition of the MOJO scheme and the Unleashed name... seemed to work with the design also.
Let me know if you want to change anything.

Very Nice Rick !!
I like the graphics.. Looks like you kept with the XXX theme with different colors..? Maybe a little color splash on the cockpit and maybe come up with a name of my own...? Something to do with twins maybe?? Thanx, Tom H.
