      Well, I could not be happier. The new cowling mold worked great and produced and awesome cowl for the gp265. I made this down where the user could keep it one piece, cut it into two so you have fiberglass hatches for the front and rear, or just use the wood rear hatch with the glass front hatch. I think this one looks the best of all the gp boats as it has more of a drop sponson design due to extending the center section forward to help fit 2s big packs. Can't wait to finish the fitment of hardware, clearcoat it, and get to testing! Mike

          Sucess! Ran the gp265 yesterday, and like its bigger brothers, it just cuts threw the rough stuff and its fast! Very enjoyable hull to drive! Here are some pics painted. I will post some with everything installed tonight..ran out of time! And yes, its orange so its visible. Small hulls blend in way to easy!!! Mike

                Hey Todd,

                No, that was one that I ran a few times, then I had a local want to set the N Sport Hydro Saw record and he needed a hull asap, so I sold him my personal one, and I have not had the time to build myself another. He has been over 70mph in Saw trim with it, and its the older v1 hull. Sorry! Mike

                  In my kit I just opened up it has a part that is similar but, smaller than 1R and 1L bu, it is labelled "C" ??? I went through the main build thread but, could not find any mention of it. Any ideas guys?

                    Curious to what prop you ran with that motor?

Right now tho, due to lack of spare change, I am going to throw a UL-1 motor in it with 4s 5250mah setup just so I can get the boat tested. Once funds get better I will switch it over to the 2s setup with hi amp esc setup. Mike

                    Oh, and I do not know about the Feigao's. Looks like Steve is removing them from the site??

                      Figured it out, it's the tail end broken off of the right main sponson plate.

                      I just glued it in place with CA.

                          Ray, Sorry for the delay in replying. I will see what 1c is as I don't remember. Also, definately add floatation! Talk soon, Mike

                            It's O.k. I figured it out. It was the tip of the tail end of one sponson side. It was easy to fix and I have that sponson already framed up. Love the way the kit builds but, I'll have more questions later. Thanks Mike, I know you are busy.

                              The tops of my 2L & 2R pieces do not match the height of the outside sponson pieces that look like a 6" knife blade as all the pictures show. I have already started to make a 1/8 x 1/8" bent strip to add for gluing surface area. Do you want a picture?

                                Please take a pic before adding anything additional. My intention there is to sand flush. How much difference are you seeing there? Mike
