Custom/Hybrid 2010 Team Bill Hull V2

BUT from what I could see there was no indication of poor workmanship. All surfaces were smooth, rigid and no frayed edges, except for the untrimmed hood opening area.

i must have done something right when i was helping.:bigok: I cant wait to start mine!!!

Goose, I have a couple of questions about this hull and the stunt hull: Are they meant to be run with foam in the back?
If it is meant to be run with foam, how does the buoyancy work out? Has anyone sunk one of the stunt hulls yet? (on purpose, accidentally, whatever :biggrin
Since the back end of the hull is shorter, I am wondering if there is enough volume for flotation foam to float the thing.

I can't answer the question directly but when I did my flatdeck SN, but maybe I can help. I screwed up the glass work and the hull was scooping water under the tray. There was so much water in a very short amount of time that I noticed water pouring out of a turf seam when I leaned to the side. Yes I know there are many things wrong there but the point is this... A SN with only partial plystyrene, no expanding foam, no gunwales, and a tray full of water, the bond line was still above the water line.

Okay....but did you ever sink it, accidental or whatever?
I am interested in how it performs in that situation.

The tray full of water has nothing to do with weather or not it will sink.
