luckily the bedplate didnt get damaged. j/k

I wouldnt put carbon in it. they are different materials and have different properties. I would bond it and use the bonding adhesive to fair the inside edge and outside edge. then lay some thin glass over the joint inside and out. also if you get a chance will you please weight the bottom...

im going to have to raise it up just a bit or change the lines some to make it work. progress has stalled as I was working furiously on the fx project. I will get back on it.

post 234 is the copper/black ski and it was there along with the green ski in pics behind it. would have liked to be on the beach sat when it opened like I normally am but as it was I worked from friday morning straight thru to sat at about 1pm. got cleaned up and finally ate something and...

pat has the green ski and his now copper/black carbon one there and naticen now has the white glass fx there now.

I even used a new silver sharpie so the lines that didnt get cut will show up nice and bright.

besides raw carbon is the new black. havent you heard?

whaaaahhtt?! im making it today, you can have it tonite and paint it and your hull extensions tomorrow. you have alllll day. jeez. you could have it at lunch if that resin didnt take so long to cure.

im sure some of you can identify with this. I used to watch those car build shows and think to myself, "how do you get into a place where you have a week to build a completely modified and restored car?" like boyd coddingtons show. and here it is, days left and Im just now making the hood and...

his pump is also set back with a spacer 2".

I have a few things I want to modify already. nothing bad just small things that will make life easier or improve the hull. the reason I did the plate that way was it makes it so much easier to change the length of the hull. the other reason is that it will allow me to make changes to the...

not that I have heard.

for sure! although, being from chicago, Im pretty sure "cold weather testing" is a huge understatement!

pat might have his running. its painted and is beautiful. I will have a hull that is being delivered.

the hull can be made short like this or I can leave the insert out and make it like its normally shaped-full length.

I had these next to each other in my shop and had to bring them out to take some pics. the all white makes it a little difficult to see alot of detail but hopefully they show up better online than on my phone.

it might be a good idea to link or attach the nice write up jetmaniac did for the install depths of the midshaft into the housing. at least I think he did one. it might be getting carried away but I believe #zero did a list for reduction and steering diameters and now you should have all the...

this was tailored to come in at 20.5, and it did. plus the gelcoat. its 25lbs. what a fatty!!!

The foam is flotation foam. those are closed cells, except the ones that are cut on the surface. it should hold much if any water even if any did get in. If you silicone behind the washers and the mating surfaces you will effectively seal any point of entry. nothing is perfect and thats the...
