Torpedo SN Build

[tor*p*do]

reinstalled the lowered exhaust pipe. sealed up with 5200 along
with the rest of the bond line in rear section of the ski
I also filled in the dang groove on the top of the side rails.
I hated that stinking groove!

 

[tor*p*do]

there was an old repair to the hull on the bottom of the engine compartment
I reinforced with some heavy duty biax.
It isnt carbon, but this is still bulletproof!

 

[tor*p*do]

I laid up the bond line with 3 inch strips of glass
Then I filled it in with epoxy and 3M micro glass bubbles
This bond line shouldnt leak :Banane01:

[tor*p*do]

starting to rethink the xmetal waterbox
Radney says it wont fit without modifying the box outlet
and everyone talks about how LOUD it is
I attract enough unwanted attention as it is . . .
I almost had to fountain a jerk on a pontoon boat last year, but resisted the urge:Banane35:

I really like the stock RN water box, you should look into that.

 

[tor*p*do]
