    Are you filling all the holes flush or partially filled to aid drilling out in the production hulls?

      Yes. Indented for later boaring.

          My first step toward building my own radio-controlled boat. I cast brass propellers for Project 941.

            Investment casts! Excellent.

            What's the plan once you chop off the sprue -- how are you going to formulate a fixture to hold the work as you bore out the propeller shaft hole?

            I applaud your effort so far. Nothing looks like brass other than... er... brass!
