    Tony did you get mono Jeff to do the graphics? I'm building a lighter N1 version DF23 for my GF and I like the canopy etc... Nice graphics.

      Ray,

      I got creative with some stick-on CF vinyl, some pinstriping, and (of all things) an FE30 windshield.The grey scoops were done in mag wheel spray paint.

          Did you paint scoops before or after gluing them on?

            Ray, I painted them first. It was a fun job & It really scoots according to Dave.

              Thanks. Normally I would leave the gel coat alone but this orange hull I have has poor molding on the scoops. I'll have to paint them as well.

              Most likely I'll do the same build again as in the past, more or less the same as yours. I wish I never sold the red one. It was beautifully molded and polished. That hull has fallen to Archimedes Principal as you said

                Bump.

                Got everything to start building finally.

                I'm trying to think of a way to make the rudder a kick-up style.

                  It's been ages since I fitted a mono with hardware.

                  Can You give me some ideas on how to mount a stinger strut? Mainly how to find and make a center line mark on the taped transom?

                  I don't want to mess it up. The rest I can handle.

                        Sorry Tony. I haven't got a boat wet in over 2 years.
