I just finished building the Big Chill and it's amazing. I still need to paint it since I basically just used whatever filament I had and it's a hot mess with colors lol. I did make one slight change in the electronics though. Instead of the fan cooled ESC I went with a liquid cooled one and a small pump. I took the ESC housing and mounted it under the deck and installed the pump and ESC inside and routed the hoses out the gap. Then fixed a copper pickup tube to the left inside pontoon. The pump pulls the water up the tube and pushes it through the ESC then the output tube is attached to the side of the motor so as it pumps the water it looks like it's spraying out of the engine like a rear outboard. In all this is an amazing build and I'm already looking at building 2 more of the outboards and mounting them on my 29 in Catamaran.
