Lightweight RN SJ build #1

[ADDict]

It was a long day.. lets just say that. 3 guys on it for 10hrs straight. There might have been a few beer breaks in between though.

Impressive man. Great job. Can't wait to see how it does!

Nice! Let me know when mine is done. Who knows, maybe my Wife will let me can over and play soon.

Very nice, So do you own the mold's now, are you going to be making more Hull's to sell ?

If we waited on your wife to let you out of the house long enough to get a boat done, jet skis will be out dated and we will all be flying airplanes to work.:moon:

Here is some pics of the hood we laid up. What do you guys think.

I take it you're not going to answer any questions, this is more of a show off thread?

I do not own the molds. They belong to Goose. After Saturdays build, I doubt we will make anymore in the near future. Its a lot of work.

Goose molds, PWC factory motor (760 stock stroke) Not sure on the paint yet. What else you wanna know? .

How many man-hours does it take to make the hull, hood, and nose piece with the molds?

It took 13 hours. 10 for the hull, 3 for the hood. This boat doesn't have a nose piece. I am sure there will be 20 hours in it total after I reinforce the hull inside and glass the plates in for the motor mounts. Who knows, I might bling it out with some carbon twill on the inside. Just for looks.

He put on as much resin as I did on saturday. The boat is solid. I hope to be riding it in october.

On a side note: If anyone has a midshaft available, its seems to be the part I can't find right now.
