      Well here I am again Dinking around waiting for my pictures to up load on photobucket 81% and holding, Dum ta Dum, Well I had to cancel the up load adn do it one picture at a time BUT I Got er done
      I just fitted the rudder on and the struts to check and see how everything looks, Now I am going to polish up that new hardware and it will look Sweet.

            think i may need to modify my rudder to run alittle deeper,, do you think you could make me a replacment blade for it, with those sweet machining skillzzz you got there!!!! I have a bigger rudder at home i will look at it tonight and see if i cant cut it down alittle to see if i can fit it on my rudder bracket on my hull,,first..

              My rudder blade is only 2" long and that seems to work fine for me how long is your's? if it is down in the water it is working, well most of the time unless it is just touching the water, and I guess i could make a rudder blade but I can't do a water pick up type as I use 1/8" aluminum plate for the blade and 1/8" brass rod for the pin

                    Ok here are some more pictures of the rudder all polished up, I had it done on Sunday but just now had the time to post sorry.










                    Well that is all for today but next time I am going to finish the top of the stand off box by sealing it with epoxy (I love that stuff) then glueing the top on, and after that I am going to make another foam shape for the cockpit or what ever you all call it.

                      Well I finally made more progress I have some phone Pictures, and will Be posting them this weekend (I hope) so at least everyone that has been watching will have something a bit newer to look at. I added 90 deg water hookups to the water jackets, and purchased some (2) bottom mount water pickups from cnc aluminum, Mounted the struts Glued up the (With Bearing Mount) flex shafts, added stuffing tubes and just did a lot of looking, and added a battery strap (modified of course) did some sanding and that's about it. Stand By for Pictures.
