Heres some pics of my newly restified AC Version 1 Sport 40 Hydroplane. Got this hull in a trade deal. When i got the hull it had no canopy, a crunched sponson and big sections missing out of the hull bottom.
RESTIFICATIONS:
1) Fixed the sponson installed new redesigned ride pads.
2) Installed a new full length 0.040 thick G-10 bottom.
3) Cleaned up the deck with cut down Dumas SP40 canopy.
4) Updated the afterplane by reducing it by almost an inch on each side & replaced the non-trip side walls with Bamboo veneer flooring. This mod reduced lift by adding sponson tunnel relief, less chance of high speed blowover.
5) Integrated self draining strut wet well for ease of ride adjustments.

Hardware: MACH 5 racing(custom) aluminum Rudder & Turnfin Assemblies, MACH 5 Billet Coupler, Motor Mount with 3/16" flex drive
