Watercraft Factory and Lehr Performane Watercraft Build

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

I don't really have alot to show at the moment, but I just received some pictures from Steve's shop today of my hull that he's gotten started on.

The basics of this build are as follows:

Watercraft Factory hull, hood, and nosepiece, built by Steve Parenteau (Waterfreak).

Lehr Performance Watercraft 6mm Lamey stroker, built by Paul Lehr (Jr.).

X-Metal pole, steering, waterbox, exhaust outlet, and scuppers, manufactured by Pat Bogart (ikstej).

A combination of Hydroturf and Gator Grip will be used on this build, installed by Charlie (sflsurfrider).

Graphics will be completed by Exotic Signs (Paul).

Here's the only two shots I have of my hull that is under construction...

Top deck will be bright red...:arms:

And the build-off will be a possibility. How can I go wrong with both the 2005 and 2006 winners contributing to this build.

chick, after i saw the hull in the shop, it looks much shinier than i thought it was going to. the clear in the black gelcoat really does help.

on a sadder note, you should have your boat by valentine's day..... steve is busy making 2 texilium handcups for sakit2me's hood and im making sure that every strand is in place.:Banane09:

I heard Charlie has subbed the turf work out to Steve...:Banane01:

This will be a cool build, good luck Chic!

Very cool!! I think the 2007 build off will be one for the books. There are allot of very nice builds going on right now.

Sorry about the hijack but Gator grip??? where can you get gatorgrip. I have heard that it is better than Hydroturf as far as the actual traction goes. I have the grey "B" sheets on my ski and I don't like it. My old straight lined stuff from 5 years ago had a tackier feel to it. My feet would never slide on the old stuff but this feels like a harder compound so it is slicker.

 

[sflsurfrider]

if you put the diamonds front to back, instead of left to right, its very slippery.

I disagree.

Keep in mind that you can get cut or molded Hydroturf, the cut is less slippery but wears out quicker and imo doesnt look as good as molded. Oh and imo Gator grip sucks for durabilty and is ugly too IMO.

Mine run sideways but it feels more plastic than the older lined stuff. I am leaving it out in the sun a much as possible to see if that helps soften it.
