That boston terrier is great! Look how disgusted he is when he sees the treat.


I had greasy food for lunch and I feel SOOOOOOOOOOO much better...

OMFG....


So busy, so tired.

I made a bunch of progress last night, up til 12:30 working..... Pretty happy. May not look like much. I still need to round up the clues to the contest.

I'll try to get everything together.

Progress!


Not sure if I mentioned it, but I've lowered the tray on each side of the pump tunnel. We'll see how it turns out, but i'm excited.
I didn't get a photo of the addtional layer of CF on the exhaust hole and one way hole.

Decided to install the FFH last night. Used spray paint to guide me as to where to remove gelcoat etc so I can make a good bond when I glass it in. I used thickened resin.
Before I installed it, I formed some foam to go inside... little extra buoyancy.
I dropped 3-4 screws to hold it in place while I riveted it. Then laid down some basic glass. I think the rivets and epoxy resin will provide the majority of the strength, so i'm not killing it on glass on the sides. If it feel weak i'll build it up.

I filled in the front part of the gunwales with house foam.

Last night was my first time to play with two part foam. I made small batches because I wasn't sure how it would react etc. Pretty cool stuff, gets pretty warm too... I was using my hand to stop some of it from escaping from the cardboard mold I made... and it got warm.

I'll pull the cardboard off today and see how it looks. Hopefully it didn't stick too badly. I'm thinking I shoulda put down some plastic or something.


Photo's are out of order....

Here are all the clues:

Ok..... Heres the:

pirates1_2_zpsce7b3785.jpg


Clues will be released as updates are made. This will motivate me to get work done... Its a win-win.....

Since there are at least three or four members who i'm sure know who this hull belonged to i've devised a way to level the playing field so they can participate. (no fun telling someone they can't play.)

The 15th person to PM me the persons screen name wins. This is a gamble, because i'm assuming that 15 people follow this thread closely enough to care/ participate. The PM must have Mr Brah's his screen name in the subject line. I'll screen shot my inbox so everyone knows its legit.
One entry per person!

I'm kinda excited about this. I put a lot of thought into how to do this contest, I hope it goes smoothly.

First Clue....


Post # (First model year of the Yamaha Superjet minus year Napolean was born, plus 22)

First letter in the post.



*edit*
I'd like to mention that I tried to pick specific posts in the thread that I like. Also... these are all posts by other people. No editing of posts have been done to manipulate the contest... Having almost 800 posts to choose from helps too.

Also, I'm not going to edit the rules post. It is what it is, I don't want anyone thinking I changed the rules or some BS.

Clue #2

First letter in Post number: ___________ _________ Magazine listed "The Thrill is Gone" by BB King as number (_____-2 = Post number ) on its top 500 Greatest songs of all time.

Don't trust Wikipedia.

Remember... unless you just want someone else to succeed off your efforts (Democrat what?) Don't post your answers....

Clue #3

Its been brought to my attention that I might be making the contest a little too difficult for the causal follower of the thread.
I was slightly concerned about this... So I'll make it a little easier from here on out... and if nobody gets it, ill edit some of the previous clues so they're not so hard.


Today's clue.....



First Letter on post #

herbie_zps1fc33035.jpg





Clue #4

So... i'm pretty sure there are only like 3 people following along with the contest.


Which makes me sad inside.

But ya know what, to whoever wins... they're getting something awesome. I'm plan on making it worth your while. (hopefully the winner is over 21....:sneaky:)




So..... todays clue..... is too easy.


First letter in post number: CCCLXXXV


That gets us up to date. My bad on the effed up clue concerning "The thrill is gone" changes made above.

And CLUE number 5................




The first letter in post number ____ = 8.1L engine in cubic inches, minus 200.





So one clue left.

If I don't get 4 more guesses i'll throw out the last clue. But ya'll shouldn't need it.
