I've had a few friends/ OSE members saying I need to build thread this one since I haven't done one in a while, especially on one of my own boats, so ill do my best to find time to keep this updated and alive.
When I found HPR was back at it again I figured I needed to pull the trigger on a boat I've wanted to build for a while and push some other projects yet again to the back burner.
I picked up a CFK/AFK 135 (54") hull and hardware and am having Kent at Custom CF parts do some bling for me.
I'm doing this build in an order I typically do not do. But I had to plan on how to get it all done in a short time so I've had to build it accordingly. We have a Bay festival coming up in the county we currently race in and they have invited us to come display some of our boats and let people know who we are. Id like it done for display which meant I would not have time to build it, tune it, strip and send it for color.
That being said, as I'm gatherint the remaining parts, I've pre drilled all the holes that paint will be over and took it to a local painter for some beautification. First boat of my fleet I've ever let someone else do. I usually shoot my own but this one I don't have the cutters etc here to do the intricate work it will need, as well as, I want no vinyl on it. all paint for the logos etc.
Ok, enough history lesson... the build.
I've got Castle 2028s, Castle HV200 V2's, will mostly run it on probably 8S, and have the ability to run 9 and 10 to have some fun. We have a 6th mile course and I have a 115 HPR that pushes 80 and the lake supports it but much more and it will get kinda scary.
For now I'm going to keep the scheme to myself and a few others that know about it. Ill post pics as soon as I have the hull back (Hopefully this coming weekend.)
For now, here's some previews.
