The small test panels seem more rigid just bending them by hand . I think it will be great for small parts and repairs . It really cures fast .... did I mention...

    Here's how it turned out... The fit is much better , you don't have to spread it a half of an inch to get it around the sides. The contours match the bottom except for the strakes. Much better than having the 1/4 inch plus mismatch on the original. I knew there would be a step from the plate to...

    I think the quick kick is some what of a new product ? It's popular with surf board makers used as a hot coat due to the cure time / clarity and UV protection. Sounds like a good resin small parts and hull mods . Additionally there is an additive that aids in sanding for visual parts. Sounds...

    TWO HUNDRED MINUTES ! ...... That certianly gives you time to find your good scissors . Laying up a hull I guess the more time the better. The other thing the rep said about quick kick is that it was their strongest resin . They did not have official numbers to support the claim , but I assume...

    New PWC restrictions! Please leave a comment.

    Let's be clear on this ...... Geese ARE ok to chase . Other than that don't chase any wild life.... Put in my respectful 2 cents. Seems the manufactures should get in on this. We have had MTB and ORV trails shut down in ga and Tenn because people simply did not show up.

    My guys mounted them flush .... nothing hanging out the back. They basically grafted in SN hulls using 16 pound foam ,glass epoxy and carriage bolts. Its cool that they can use any SJ ride plate or intake to tune a little bit. I'll try to get some pics posted.

    Not another Chan, build.

    Yes ... used 19 oz carbon twill bottom , sides and under the pole area. After you sand the zolatone do not do a acetone wipe . The zolatone will start comming up like you put paint stripper on it . I found out the hard way and had to completely strip the motor compartment .

    Not another Chan, build.

    Nice work.... A little reinforcement goes a long way. If you reinforce the inside and handle pole be careful with the acetone it makes a HUGE MESS when mixed with zolatone.

    As for your e-box question , myself and some others have mounted it behind the carbs. Measure about 4 inches from the rear fire wall the rear of the ebox should start there . Make sure you mount it high enough to clear the exhaust but low enough so that your plug wires are not rubbing the...
