Got the carbon fiber in the mail today! So i got start to work this afternoon and got the bulkhead, motor mounts and transom plates cut out. Gotta do some fine tuning and sanding due to the fact that i made the templates before i had the cloth in the hull. Laid cloth for the first time and am pretty happy with the results. took a little time in prep, but was worth it. Still need to finish the sleds and electronics cover but those can wait till everything else is installed. more work tomorrow. thanks

nice looking carbon fiber! where can these be purchase?

Good job Bruiser, cant wait to see a vid of this..

[bruiser77]

Thanks Rum! Its really difficult when you have fat fingers like me!

[bruiser77]

Thanks jerry! Will get video for sure this afternoon! Sink or swim!

Well didnt go as planned, but the boat didnt sink! got to do 3 laps with it and lost a wire drive and everything that goes with it. It was my fault because the motor coupling is rh thread and the motor just spun the nut right off. Just ordered new parts so should have it in the water again next weekend. The camera we used only got 15sec of video so nothing to show yet. The boat has amazing power and is going to be really quick. Those outrunners sound so cool, never got to open here up but am very pumped for the next run. Boat tracks perfectly straight until you lose a shaft.

Sorry to hear that bruiser,, ill have to remember that whenever i get mine done..

[bruiser77]

Could've been worse. I order some jeff wohlt couplers last week so should be getting those soon. I should've used a little loctite and everything would've been fine. Going to be a really fun boat.
