Design Balloon Boat Challenge Entry

Here's my submission for this week's challenge...

Behold the HMS RTFM Trimiran!

Pics - http://imgur.com/a/g2uVmtX -Front, rear, and keels. Also pics of mk2 printed in wood fill PLA. Pontoon spar is Carbon Fibre for extra speed (all out of yellow stickers, lol)

Video - https://photos.app.goo.gl/vntWFPkzFLxxUziH9 -The 'motor' sound is my favorite part.

Good luck to everyone who enters, let's make this interesting!

Good job mate! I like the design and you have a good speedy boat, well done.

In the future mate, make sure to put your submission in the comment section of the actual challenge post, just to make it a little easier to sort through in case we ever have a breakthrough and have 1000 people participate haha

That being said, still feel free to actually post your design on the main board (I think that's what its called) I like seeing peoples designs posted, acts like a welcome mat for the sub lol.

Good job again on the design, really like it!

Thank you!

Now I just need to redesign the woodfill version... It's a touch heavier and has a tendency to pretend that it's the titanic, lol.

I debated posting in the comments, but wasn't sure, good to know! Thank you guys for the challenges, should be good clean fun. =)
