Hey! Look what made it's way to the first page again.
I do have update:
I Sold my 07 RN hull to force myself to finish this.
Once temps start to warm up again I'll hit this hard.

Haven't touched it in almost a year. Thinking about selling it actually.
....if only you hadn't chopped off the nose...

^^^ That bugs you, doesn't it!
LOL not really, I would have been interested in it had it been un-modified, besides that I don't really care what you do with it. :silly:

I can glue the stock nose back on if it helps with the sale haha.
I actually got my composite stuff back out this week to fix my girlfriends carbon water ski jumpers and sort of got me back in the mood to work on this. Just too dang busy right now to put in any serious time so I hate to pull everything out and set up shop.

Well after over a year without touching this I dug it out of storage last weekend and started work again.
I got all of the reinforcements done on the pole bracket area that I wanted on the underside of the top deck.
I started sanding and grinding the two mating surfaces and I think I'm real close to being able to bond the two together
My goal is to get the decks bonded next weekend and then start building the tray.
I also picked up a Thrust hood that came up for sale. I really like the look of this hood and will prolly splash a mould off of it, lay up a light weight glass hood and modify that as a plug eventually making some slight changes to blend in with my hull lines. And no, I'm not going to offer any copies of the thrust hood, just a way for me to save time and get a hood that works with my hull.

Ok. So an update... a real updated this time. Hull is no longer for sale!
and I actually did some work. About 5 hrs or grinding, sanding and prepping the decks and then just finished about a 4 hr layup session. Decks are officially bonded. I laid 2 layers of 1708 biax and a layer of 10oz 2x2 twill glass on the outside rails, 4" strip of 2x2 twill on the inside bond line then an additonal layer of 1708 over it and several layers to start building up the nose. It's sitting right now with some work lights on it. Needs to be babysat for a little while until it starts to firm up and hold shape on the nose.

I sure hope so Tom!
Best part is, if I build this instead of buying a new hull I might have $$ for some more PHP cc's under the hood!

Hope you guys didn't think I was done after on session!
Laid the inside nose reinforcements this morning.
Chopped strand mat, 2 layers of 1708 biax and some carbon to finish it off.

Man I hate sanding pour foam. 
is just a horrible mess.
got the tray started. Two then layers of 2x2 twill laid and hopefully get the sides finished up and a little glass down tomorrow.
