First off, any and all compliments on this hull should be directed at Don Ferrette and Mike Luszcz. The original plan was a Falken scale. The gentleman I purchased this from had the Miss Red Dot in mind. So, Miss Red Dot it is. The hull is going to OSE member Doug (Oversprayer.com) today for paint.

Got the boat back from Doug today. I was floored when I saw how awesome it looks. All I can say is Doug is worth every penny you spend with him. These pictures do the boat no justice. You're the man Doug. Oversprayed.com.8517885179851808518185183

When you do get it in the water, would you take a nice shot off the bank so I can put your boat on my website? Thanks! Mike

Let me set the stage. Going to put this hydro up for sale so I figured some video will help with the sale. The cowl is always taped on. Magnets are also used. This boat flipped at over 60 and the cowl stayed put before. So I never installed floatation in the cowl. Had a Go2 Pro mounted on the cowl with my wife filming from the shore. The rest is obvious. Only way I'm able to show the onboard is I hired a diver to go get it. Moral of the story. USE FLOATATION NO MATTER WHAT.
