A quick check on ebay shows lots of nice rc boat hulls for what I think are reasonable prices. 36" hulls for under $100. A 38" Impulse for $85 I think can be made self-righting, but I was thinking for really rough water than a really big keel like a racing yacht might be a good thing. I really don’t care if it’s fast as long as it gets there. If I don’t build my own hull which the prices make look kind of silly, I could alwasy add on a keel. I think the Agua Cat bait boat also has a big weighted keel. I still like the outriggers too, though.
I just had a thought. A really slim torpedo shape with dual outriggers. if it gets fliipped it just keeps going upside down. The FC would need to know it’s inverted, of course, and the drive system would need to cope. I’m sure someone could figure that out. You could just have a top and bottom motor and run the one that is currently in the water. I need to think about that some more. The whole thing would be really easy to make, you could even use fat pool noodles for outriggers. I’m thinking a flat watermelon seed shaped main hull would be good. Ok, now you guys can tell me why it is a bad idea!!!
