Thanks Mick, I am really enjoy the work I am doing on the Problem Child drag hydro, It is coming along nice for the roughing stage of hand made bucks.

Well Randy, Now that you're building one of these and I've gotten no response from David @ Hyperformance. How long do you think it will be before you get the mold done and start popping boats out? I'd rather buy from you anyway..

I would like to get one when they are ready as well.

Thanks guys any one else wants one please post and I will have more incentive to finish. Although on a lighter side when I first read the two of you wanting the 1/6 Problem Child Hydro (PCH/TFH) I thought of the Warren Zevon recording "Send lawyers guns and money!"
I am going to cut a little on the bottom mold today but I really need to get back to the three or four other boats waiting to be done that are production work.

I got a lot done in the bottom plug today for the time I had.

If I can keep on it like 3 hours a day M threw F I would say two to three months to make the first boat. Orders and like today the doctor gets in the way. But I am on the down hill side of the P Sport boat and I really want to get this one done.

I have decided to do this boat as a shoe box style molding at least in the front, to do butt joints are much weaker in the narrow hard to get to places. What do you guys think?

[RandyatBBY]

I had time in the doctors office to think about the build, just a yearly Physical. I decided to build a lower butt seam and make a inner mold to do the shoe box I will end up with the best of both worlds. pictured is the bottom back portion of the new mold.

I have decided to make the block part of the deck/hatch so that when I sell the hull you will be able to build the dummy motor as part of the deck. Also I am in the process of making molds for the 1/10 scale hemi as we speak. I do not know what I will do today on the buck but I will bring home pictures of what I do today tonight and post them. Hope you guys are enjoying the mold build blow by blow.
