Progress continues... Turfed the rails and installed the scuppers today. I used some cheap 2" plastic scuppers that cost about $10 each and put 5200 on to attach and seal them up. If they break or fall out, I certainly won't be heart broken.
I also added a couple layers of carbon over the engine mounting plates. They may or may not hold up the way they are. However, the way I see it, these are critical stress points on the hull in every imaginable scenario and therefore the consequences of having them fail are very serious and I could potentially lose the entire hull if they do fail. Therefore, I've added a bit of reinforcing to them. May add more later...depends on how much of a warm fuzzy feeling I get from this reinforcing.
The footholds that came with the hull are nice in a way but I don't think Highroller believes in padding. If I wear tennis shoes, I can barely get my size 9 foot in the hold with no turf or padding. Luckily I despise wearing shoes so I have a bit more room to play with. However, with only 1" padding on the bottom, I still can't get my entire barefoot in the hold. If I put my weight on the padding I probably could though.
