Sniper build ll "PREDATOR"

[ksm2001]

Absolutely beautiful Peter, The decal of predator turned out great. Can't wait to see it run, I'll have the video Cam ready.

What type/color is that orange paint? I'm really digging it!

I ordered the hull in an Orange gellcoat......no paint

Peter,
That is a beautiful boat. Please post pictures of the inside when you get to it.

Thanks guys for the kudos , for sure Anbjorn I will post interior details when I start mounting everything.....It will have much the same setup as the red Sniper . Ken I am hoping to get in at least one run this year with the new build .

[Punisher 67]

Built the T-Bar today , will have some more interior pictures of hardware placement within the next few days hopefully

[Punisher 67]

Also an updated picture of the hull graphics....I think I am done now

[ksm2001]

That looks wicked Peter and the t-bar is very nice. I like how you made it fully adjustable. I think your heart will be beating a bit faster on the first run (also).

Very nice work!!! Vid please!!

[Punisher 67]

Thanks guys , for sure there will be a video and Some interior placement . I am eventualy going to buy a GoPro-HD video cam and mount it on top for a run also . those vids are so coool .

How do you achieve that type of finish on the Alum. Peter?

[Punisher 67]

60 grit sandpaper and a orbital sander Ray , Oh fabulous job on that 2028 cooling jacket.....I am jealous

[ray schrauwen]

Seriously Peter, an orbital sander?? Wow, whoda thought!!

Thanks for the kudos but, they are not difficult to make. You just can over tighten the fittings since it's so thin.

Looks like a tumbler finish to me.

I have kind of been dragging my a$$ with this build but she is almost done - pictures to date . Trim tabs next and then battery tray

[RaceMechaniX]

Looks like she is almost done Peter and looking good. Are all the lakes frozen up north or maybe a chance for a quick test?

What is ther stuffing tube size & material Peter?

Very nice so far!!

[Punisher 67]

Thanks Tyler and Ray

The lakes are frozen to the earths core here Tyler . We had a high off -28 with a wind chill down to -38 degree's

Ray the stuffing tube is 1/4ID - 3/8OD ( Approx ) stainless steel tubing , This is the 3rd boat I have built using this instead of brass tubing as extra insurance if the cable ever comes apart - it is thicker and way stronger . I have seen some pretty mangled interiors because the 1/4 cable came apart destroying the brass stuffing tube first . Case and point was grail on the red forum with his 92" twin 3080 powered cat , the carnage damaged the hulls interior also .

And it just loooks better...............................
