Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I'm digging this cat! Hopefully it will do me well.
My first step is to figure out where I want them to go them usually poke a 1/8 hole with my dremel from the inside of the boat out. Next flip her over and masking tape off them sponson and layout the rectangle with a fine sharpie. I then use the cutoff wheel to cut the majority of the area out then use a razor blade and a small needle file to dial the hole size in. The fg or carbon is usually thicker than the lip machined on the pickup so I have to hand file the sides so it sticks out the hull more when installed. I then JB weld the whizz out of it from the inside of the hull. Let it dry a day then bondo the small gap on the outside between the pickup and sponson bottom. Let dry then file the excess aluminum down level then block sand and prime. Hope this helps.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment
