i am running out of steam... fast.
last night was the battery box creation. took a few blocks of wood, cut them to be the same size i wanted the battery box to be and nailed together. then wrapped it all in duct tape, followed by tin foil (now I wish i had used something else... this tin foil is a bitch to scrap off). used 3 lays of 12oz-ish and 1 layer of 20oz-ish carbon. used west systems epoxy w/slow hardener. once done, i put in the oven for about 2 hours on "warm". took it out and was good to go. trimmed the top and sanded the edges, then scuffed the hull and box for epoxy/glue. same thing i did for the pump shoe, used 404 filler w/epoxy and a bit of coloring. ya, it looks a bit sloppy in there, but this thing isn't budging! i was able to pick up the weight of the hull by it this morning before work. pay no attention to the rusty washer in the pic below lol. only used for mock up. the stock bolts are to long for the motor mounts when being using with Superjet style mounts.
the waterbox sits in the stock battery location. when i had everything mocked up, the waterbox stay in placed without a strap. but it took 5 minutes to install an insert right above the box so why not? little peace of mind. a strap will run from one of the gas tank mounts to the side mount i just did.
tonight - finish assembly and hopefully at least fire it up! (even if it is 1am, screw the neighbors).

racing season has started (sportbikes) so this project has been put on the backburner... until now. it kills me to pay someone else to do something i can do myself (paint the hull), but my lack of "free" time has forced me to give the hull to a buddy to finish for me. hope to be getting it back this weekend, then get it all together for memorial weekend.
today, a couple pieces of art showed up at my office :Banane09:
what carbs do you rn this monster and how much power does it make?????Its simply beautiful!!!

see first post... 49mm full spectrums.
curse, huff and puff... a lot i guess :dunno:
hopefully i will not have to pull it to often but it will come out... just a PITA.
i bought a quick disconnect thing for it... so no screwing with the terminals (pun intended).
the charger this battery uses is pretty fancy... quick charge mode takes i believe 10 to 15 minutes on a completely dead battery.
not to bad.
Yeah that box looks nice. How did u lay the carbon to get nice round corners? I tried one and took square pieces and draped the over but then i had to fold the sides.

by accident in all honesty...
because i used thicker carbon, it didn't want to make 90 degree bends, but rather stay round like that.

This weekend??
I've used wax paper to act as a release layer when molding glass. Never worked with carbon, but ur batt box looks great. My batt box is in same location. I have to hold batt vertical via long axis to drop in and once I get below the carbs/intake I have to rotate it flat on its back. It seems tricky to get in but after u do it a few times it's not bad...just can't b in a rush. Quick disconnects r a must.

Wow man... That is nice. Looks like you did everything right, spared no expense and cut no corners. Nice build. I cant wait to see a video.
