This model is very water resistant, very buoyant, and goes pretty fast with my setup

I printed this on my Ender 3. The model is split for easier printing, or a single part if your printer can handle the height.

The hatch is 26mm deep, 150mm wide, 132mm long. It fits a 3c 2200mah lipo battery with plenty of room.

Slight changes to body, major changes to hatch. Much more water resistant now. Add a little grease between the hatch/cap and it's practically waterproof if you've painted the hull.

The hatch now uses standard RC Body clips to hold the cap on, or paper clips.

I added a slight lip around the edge of the hull, hopefully this will push some water away from the hull/prop.

Changes to the motor/servo wire holes should be more water resistant. I'm considering a rubber shroud surrounding the wires, plugged into the top of the hull. Currently your best best it to lay some hot glue around the wires. Hot glue can be easily removed by briefly soaking in Isop
