just want to chime in this thread. So far everythings looks great and very well done - no need to correct something.
For the teflon-discussion: I'm a huge fan of Teflon and can't imagine running a fast electric boat without teflon liner. That doesn't mean that I think it won't work without teflon liner - lots of guys do it and it works - just I would not do it.
And for the templates: Well almost impossible as everybody likes a little different position. Some try to get the drives as close to the tunnel as possible - I'm not a huge fan of that idea. I prefer to do it like Chris did, with a gap around 4-5mm on the HPR 06. But I try to keep the gap to the bottom as small as possible, maybe even 1mm lower than what Chris did (this needs some grinding work on the inner brass nut for a good fit). So as you see there are several different ways, and all of them work. And so far no real comparison if it is just personal favour or really has influence on performance.
Looking really good Chris. I can't wait to get my HPR C5009, only problem is I'm not confident enough to build the boat myself so I will have to find someone to do this for me. Our maybe you or someone else reading this could recommend and point me in the direction to someone who would be willing to build the boat for me.
Bracka69 thanks ! If you are getting the hull from Manuel I would speak to him about possibly building it. There are several people that I would recomend to build a boat. Let me know what happens.
Oh also some graphics that Kent is working on for me. All looks perfect, I just would like to change we're the sponsons are. here are some pics and one of the way it should look when complete in blue and silver. I am liking the silver.
