I have almost reached the stage of foaming the hull and was wondering if anyone had tried lining the areas to be foamed with large plastic bags ,( The sort that are used when vacuum bagging small parts) and filling them with expanding foam and sealing them with a bag sealer? This would keep the...

The drive is original so the bulkhead is the same distance from the engine, It looks to be farther back due to the SXR topdeck being a different design. I think I will keep the Elec box in the same location. I an working on the two fuel cells that will be mounted through the bulkhead either...

When one tried it they all wanted a go ! Not too heavy but has nothing inside yet , bulkheads and carbon stiffeners next. It sure does look small next to an SXR!

and it was dry !! LOL !

I have almost reached the stage of foaming my light weight hull, and was wondering if anyone had tried lining the areas to be foamed with large plastic bags ,( The sort that are used when vacuum bagging small parts) and filling them with expanding foam and sealing them with a bag sealer? This...

Top deck mould done ! We are laying up the first top deck tomorrow if the weather holds out............... Oh no sorry its sunny and nice everyday here He He!

Luker, If you get to Pattaya we could hook up for a beer or two and some jet skiing of course ! Well Primed and blocked twice, Painted and polished, Time to wax for taking a mould off. I spray the part to be moulded (grey) then one coat of red for two reasons the first being it is a good...

Yes that would be good we need a stuntman here! I do miss the crowd I used to go skiing with in the UK , The weather it great all year here but I am always on the lookout for English speaking freestylers. Primer............. IMG_3830.JPG (194.1 KB) IMG_3831.JPG...

Luker, I am based in Pattaya, Do you ever get over here? Chad, Yes that is a Maxxx Pole, The CNC machining is excellent it is a very nice part. It comes with rose jointed adjusting rods but I think when I finalise the top angle I may replace with aluminium strips for lightness as when the...

Well the nose is almost done together with the hood the nose looked a bit blunt but putting some sort of emblem on it looks better,I am planning to make a finisher to cover the pole bolt. Its tray area tomorrow . IMG_3792.JPG (155.0 KB) IMG_3788.JPG (168.2 KB)...

Yes it does a bit, Maybe because of both being derived from an SXR top deck? short length and forward pole position. I have opted for using a moded SJ lower, I believe the lenzi boat uses the SXR lower. The clear coat is PVA it is water based and does dry a bit like cling film. The gray colour...

Thanks Zero, You sure know your nozzles !:cool:

It may be a good idea to lay some class cloth over an area larger than the footprint and put colloidal silica in the resin under the bracket and bolt it up before letting it cure if you think the bracket does not sit flat anywhere, This way it would spread the load rather that the bracket only...

Hi Max, How was Europe not too cold I hope? I have been getting on well with the lightweight hull project, I was giving some thought to making a jig to slot into the lower hull mould to widen the intake area to allow fitment of a 155mm pump, Maybe after the first boat is finished you could...

Not sure about weight for this hull , I have targets for each moulding but I would like to make sure my calculations are somewhere near before spouting off figures! The hull lower is done and bare with no tubes, Pump/ride plate fixings bulhead etc it weighs 9.1 kilos. Good day today top deck...

Thankyou # Zero, I take it when taper boring a nozzle the diameter measurement is taken at the very end of the nozzle? Ksarge 91 , Thankyou for your reply I never would have guessed what CATS stood for Lol.

Well lying awake early this morning wondering if the mould had stuck, I got to thinking about the pro's and cons of moving the engine back a little to get the C of G Back , Then came up with the idea of making two fuel cells mounted through the bulkhead one above the scupper tube and one below...

Thats a relief! Put back together waxed and not a mark on it! PVA ! :veryhappy: IMG_3747.JPG (246.2 KB) IMG_3749.JPG (242.0 KB)

I am going to fabricate a tray along with the nose using foam shaped and then covered with glass cloth. This will be done when the plug has been popped out of this mould......if it comes off the ski ! I am doing this for two reasons one being I did not want to de-turf my SXR , and the second...

What have I done my paint job ! Lets hope it comes off OK tomorrow ! I will post a pic of the result. :thinking: IMG_3734.JPG (305.7 KB) IMG_3741.JPG (265.9 KB) IMG_3743.JPG (274.2 KB)
