FC 60" Super Daytona C/K

[tiqueman]

So Ben calls me a few weeks ago and asks if Id like a really fun prioject to work on. Sure, who doesnt!? Apparently this hull was shipped to a customer and was really beat up during the delivery process. Really beat up. he sent pics explaining the damage and I too felt it was repairable. I went ahead and trusted Ben it could be repaired and bought the hull. Needless to say Ive been pretty worried.

It arrived yesterday, beat up was an understatement, but, its fiberglass,it can be fixed.

After about 30 minutes of interior lamination and 2 hours of body work today, shes lookin real good. My original plan was to swap over a gas set up I have in a 52" cat that I dont really care for the way it runs and put it all in this hull. then got to thinkin, if it doesnt work in this hull, thats a lot of holes and vents to patch to convert it to FE. So, its going FE.

Im going to start out w/ a single power plant. 5692, cc2028 or one of Bens 5692s. 8S to 10S. Ill aquire parts as I can to complete it as a twin later down the road.

This is going to be a very slow build. Very slow, but I was excited about the hull and the progress I made on it in just a few hours.

Heres some shots of its arrival yesterday

And heres the repair

[srislash]

Well you certainly do fine work sir.Good as new.

[Gimp]

Very cool Scott. Can't wait to see what you do with her!

[tiqueman]

Thanks Shawn. Its a start. looong way to go.

[tiqueman]

thaks Chris. Itll be my paddle board for a while. Just lay on it, paddle out and recover dead boats.

Well done Scott! Although if we get a single 5692 in there, I think I'll have to convince you to go SHV.

Perhaps 16s, plenty of room for 4 nice big 4s packs. =)

[tiqueman]

thats a good possibility since a lot fo my boats run4S packs. thats kinda how I was getting to 8S and Ive got some 6S to combine to get to 10.
Ill have to figure out what way I want to go. I want it in the water yesterday, lol So LV may come first, then maybe HV and twin. Bills got a 47" mono that screams on a single 2028 and 10S. It gpsd 70 flat. Ive got 13" on that hull, but Im hoing bc its a cat itll help balance out the difference. if I could break 60 Id be happy.

Bens good a spending my money. lol thank god works been picking up

This is going to be a very slow build. Very slow, -Scott

Seems like 2 or 3s should be plenty then.......................................

not that kinda slow

I was messing w/ Benjamin yesterday, told him my budget build plan was a pair of PB1500 motors, 4S on t-120s

Yep....................i am aware of that...................i thought it was pretty funny myself.

[tiqueman]

But 3S I could turn 50mm props

[LarrysDrifter]

Oh yeah a biggin!! No, its not over compensating!! Nice bodywork, Scott. I wonder if two 2028's would fit for a twin?

[tiqueman]

I think they will. theres a lot of room. Heres a pic w/ a 1520 for giggles

[LarrysDrifter]

Looks like little six cylinder. Definitely needs a big block.
