Thats going to get a wriggle on when underway - it might just be the angle of the photo but is there enough propeller in the water taking into account the additional weight in the stern and the void left behind by the boat?

The wheels are well down. I still can lower them a bit. But I think they may be too deep.

Removed running light. In back of the light there is an access hatch. I am using it to gain access to the wiring going to the motors.

Tried uploading pictures but they don't go. Been working on the controls. Had to modify the dashboard. I will try and upload the pictures.
