[LegDragger64]

I like the looks of this hull . Cant wait to see it .

 

[INDebtSJ]

I will bring mine to Hartwell races with a tank of gas and if you tune it, you can ride it untill its empty!

A smooth gelcoat finish is like butter :Banane09:

fiberglass hull weight will be between 77-80 lbs. All sj parts will transfer right over. The ride shoe, Epic scupper and versi plug drain valves all come standard with the hull.
Our web site is currently in the process of being updated with all the info on the Vision hulls.

As far as the engine, pump and graphics , I will let Scott from Optima elaborate on the details

Epic scupper AND versi plug???????

Epic scupper AND versi plug???????

yes, both come standard with the hull.

 

[tipafew]

yes, both come standard with the hull.

What's the theory with running both....if one leaks the other will catch it?

 

[waterfreak]

arriving soon to the finish line.
carbon re-inforcements come standard on our glass hulls.

scupper is for the engine bay and the versi plugs is for the tray area. This is one sure way the tray will stay dry forever

I have a question (assuming this is an epoxy layup) What are you using for gelcoat? So far I have only found one actual "gelcoat" compatible with epoxy resin. Second option was tinting epoxy resin to use as a gelcoat, but you dont get the same UV protection. There are so many different opinions on using a polyester gelcoat with an epoxy layup, Im not sure who to believe.

I don't use Epoxy , I use Vinyl Ester resins for the glass hulls. It work great with all gelcoats

Vision hull #5 ready for World Finals

Here she is !:Banane36: ready for Optima racing to put some graphics and Dasa powa:bananajump:

 

[SkiDiggity]

Looks Amazing love the turf!!!

 

[Trubski]

Very nice work. Hard to believe the amount of time goes into one of these hulls, and all built by one set of hands, one at a time, and doesn't cost any more than the next AM hull..... That's how I want my next hull built!

 

[INDebtSJ]

As always, looks great Steve!

 

[waterfreak]

Well, looks like mike from Optima won't have enough time to put it together for WF , but it will be there for display and will be for sale with no wait time.

 

[INDebtSJ]

Boo!
It wouldnt take a pro but a half a day to put pne of these together assuming that it was a tuned package ready to go.

Maybe I will buy another one so I wont have tray envy haha

 

[KMAC]

I heard a rumor that it was postponed so that I could ride it in Daytona...

 

[waterfreak]

getting ready to take off to Optima headquaters in NC

 

[INDebtSJ]

Are you bringing it up?
