Scrap foam packaging Airboat PART 2 progress report

I need to get rid of some of the scrap styrofoam packaging I have stored away. Looking at the odd shapes I decided a boat would be a suitable project. This is the first update. I decided to use the 4 small coreless 3.7 volt motors from my quad fan hovercraft that I have recently decided I had taken as far as I could with it's development. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here.

To find them follow my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or see my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
