The "Bling Rocket" build

[tiqueman]

I don't think its necessary. I had some nasty crashes when I had mine and never had any damage. Theres always that "just the right way" hit, so I'd say if u want extra protection do it if u have resin flowing... or if u don't feel like it don't. I know real helpful

That is all I did to my hatch so far,
I just added the piece of pool noodle.
After the hatch came off because I hate using tape and had at the time one piece holding the hatch on,
And got lucky it just floated back to me upside down.
Than I said to my self need foam in hatch dummy.
I never had a roll over with this hull so far it is very stable runner.

That is a big Pussy at 25lb,
Ours are 16lb each.

And I know there is a current thread going on CF but this is my roller that has been in my head for awhile and recently found a source for the foam balls for donation.

So quick question here guys, Any reason to Cf my hatch lid on this one? Seems fairly sturdy for its purpose. Will do it while the epoxy is flowin' but kinda thinking a chunk of foam and that be it.
Oh and the other mascot : Burt=25lbs

So hull is ready for inlay and weighs in at 2lbs even with hatch.

Not if you want a GPS to work from inside. The CF will block the signal.

You could glass the hatch and seal the foam in. Would give a nice clean look.

Looks like a great job. How far did you go past the hatch opening?

I have gone halfway to the bow from hatch. I have the stringers in now too, they will cover any additional beefing up in the nose deck area.

I have external GPS so I am good there .

Looks good man. Can't wait to get my bling rocket!

Alright, the planned mission has been completed. I got the mounts, stringers, trays all in (and the other necessary household chores).

Just got to roll a bit of epoxy down the top of stringers under the deck this morn before work.

Thanks, one of the little guys would be fun.

Looks nice and clean.

How are you going to loosen and tighten the collet? It looks buried under that tab but it must be an optical illusion. It doesn't look like my fat fingers would fit in there.
