      Keith I know you that this build is one that your acquainted with this build. So you know that this isn't my work. also look at the thickness of the material. I'm using 4mm and 2mm graphite.

        Holy crap man...I have no idea what that means.

        Are you saying that someone else made mounts for you?...or this one is a different build?

                in a earlyer post I said that I was using these as a blue print. I don't have the boat yet so it would be hard to show pics like this with out one.

                      When I signed up with then I was told that I was able to use a 25.00 signing coupon. But after I placed the order they didn't offer it to me but said that they would place it on my next order. I don't do buissness this way and so I will be buying from another vender.

                        I got the pictures from http://fightercat57.freeforums.org/f...uild-t495.html
                        I like alot of what he's done. I will make my own templates with cardboard. I just wanted to show what I'm using as a Blue print. I will make so changes to make it my own work, but the ideas will be alot alike. The parts to this build will be custom as far as mounts go and a few other suprises that I will do to this hull to make it a one of a kind build. I don't drive the stuff I build much. I'm into the builds! Someday I would like to build a hull from scratch. I think this is a long way off, but it is a goal.

                          That sounds AWSOME!

                              Well I checked the tracking number for the fightercatracing shipment. I shows that the hull has never left the post office! Kevin Tells me that they never scan and that it is on the way. I have a hard time with this because when you get a tracking number it is scaned. But I have been wrong before. I have lost out on a pool cue from a custom builder a couple of years ago with this very scenario! I asked kevin to look into it and he said this is normal. I hope he is right. shipping took 11 days and for get the tracking number it showed up and show track the day recieved.

                                Super Daytona Fightercatracing Review. What piece of sh*t!!! The seams down the side are wavy, and over lap in and out , has holes that go al the way threw and air pocket every were. The inside has large air pocket and some of the kevlar Matting is hanging with no resin in it at all. The botttem of the boat didn't conform to the mold and lokks like crap as well Kevin the owner is responible forthe packing and the slow shipping. I would never buy from this company again. These hulls are gunk. I will post the pictures soon.
