could you possibly design some different floor options that can be glued into place.
Don't know exacly what you mean. I think every floor piece is already glued into place.
It won’t let me add a picture but the offer like a stick on flooring for real boats that make to boat look better. I think it would look sweet in the boat you designed.
Ah, now I understand. I don't think it would be very realistic, since all Contender 30 ST I found got the white floor - but it's an cool idea and not so hard to do. I will look into it.
Hi first i want to thank you for this design! Ive started printing the hull and can not wait to get it done! Questions for you, im a little confused on how the trim servos mount up in the boat, if you could some pictures of how all the electronics are installed would be awesome!
There are two ways to insert the servos. It's a little difficult to explain, and unfortunately I don't have any assembly pictures since my boat is already fully assembled.
You can slide the servos in from the front at an angle (with the cable pointing upwards), then push them down into place once the servo cable is tucked away in its own compartment. It's actually quite easy once you know how to do it.
You can also try to push the servo into place from the top (one side of the servo at the bottom, other side pointing upwards). It works, but the rear wall will bend and may even crack. I've done it a couple of times without any issues, but I definitely wouldn't do it on a fully assembled and painted boat. 😉
I also tested a version with a thinner rear wall so the servo could be pushed in more easily from the top. However, that design was difficult to support properly in the slicer and resulted in a weak, unattractive wall. The current straight wall is a compromise—but it works.
If you're still having trouble fitting the servos, you can carefully sand down the rear wall a little to create some extra clearance.
I've also added a picture of the servo compartment from an early stage of the build.
Picture helps a lot thank you! I’ll take pictures and post them in the makes!
Yes i have a quick question, i just purchased the file for the Contender 30STboat and wondering why i didn't get a file for the upper cover for the outboard motors.
Yes, that’s because the outboards are designed by Ethan Hoefler and I cannot put them to my files. I linked the files in the description. :)

ok thanks i did not catch that when i purchased.
Hello, we did not find the "steering rod" file in the purchased Contender 30ST
Hello! You're right. I'm sorry. Just added the file. Thanks for the notice! :)
Can you provide the assembly instructions for the trailer? Thank you
There are assembly instructions in the 3D model description of the trailer. Or do you have a specific question?
There are no assembly instructions in the documents of the car and the ship, and there are no dimensions for the bearings and tires of the trailer. I am also unable to view AliExpress.
All assembly instructions can be found in the descriptions of the boat and trailer on the Cults3D website, specifically in the "3D Printing Settings" section. But I will also include a text file with the instructions from now.
You need six 5×10×4 mm stainless steel bearings for the trailer axles, as mentioned in the material list.
I'm not sure how to help with the AliExpress issue, as the website is working fine for me.
Hi what is de size of the boat?
Hi.
Length: 900mm + Outboards (around 1000mm)
Width: 245mm
Height: 350mm (with antennas)
Weight: 4,5KG with batteries
Thank you any chance to you to modest the center console? I love the reaper center console it’s more racing 😅
I don't think so, sorry. Was hard enough to finish this project. ;)
can you provider the stl for the motor
The stl for the modified outboard (lower part) is included. You need additional files for the engines (engine cover, whale tale, propeller tips) provided by the linked website from Ethan Hoefler. He is the designer of the outboards and I can not include his files. I had to modify a file from him to fit the boat, that’s the only reason I include it in my files.
Ok let me know if the motor that we need to buy is with water cooler? Because without water cooler the engine will be very hot
The motor gets cooled by water (there are water channels through the lower outboard part). ESC is also watercooled, with silicone tubes attached to a nozzle in the whale tale.

could you design and add a spare tire holder to the trailer?
Good idea, I will look into it.
