Yamaha Octane build

thanks guys

Bottom is back from the painter. Black looks much better than the white

top deck fits great, we plan on glueing it tomorrow instead of monday. Once the side reinforcement is done it's just turfing and assembly. Still have a chance of hitting the water before the end of august.

Two pieces are one now, it's finally glued together. Had to put it in the air conditioned waiting area of my shop to slow cure time of the glue (17 mins). A little cramped but we got it done. Chad and Luke helped get it clamped well under the cure time.

i still have more glass'n to do. bondline reinforcement, texilium and footholds (waiting on a package from jeff). I'd love to have it on the water next week but it depends on parts arrivial. My goal is to have it tested, dialed and reliable by the galveston ride.
 
I'm still waiting on footholds, so i trimed the bondline and cut the tray to fit the tilt nozzle. Chad and I wetsanded and buffed the original polaris red gelcoat and black sides, it really made the hull shine
