Ok Guys! she's like 95% done, only need to drill holes for water outlets and glue in the lipo mounts. As Steve wants to run 12s2p I now have to work out the CG for speeds of around 90-100mph should be ok, as the lipo mounts has about 8" of travel. Will be around 6.4kg (14lbs) of Lipo packs

If all goes well, boat will be packed up in the next week or so and off to Steve's place!

Time for the coffin. And 7 days of stress. LMAO

[nata2run]

HAhahahaha lol yeah, who's stressing?

Looks great Kent! Are you building a wooden box for it? I shipped a Mystic this size to AU in a wooden box, and after wrapping the hull in plastic, I filled the ends with 2-part foam to keep it safe. It was big, heavy, and insanely expensive to ship, but there were no worries at all about the boat getting damaged. Shipping these big hulls in cardboard boxes always worries me. You never know how people are going to treat your package!
By the way, did you do an inlay in the hull, or did it come from MHZ with the carbon? It definitely looks better in all black than the alternate carbon/Kevlar look.

Hey Keith, thank you. I build the crates out of x2 6mm corflute. Which is a product I use in my sign shop. It's very ridged and I have successfully shipped a few like that. I wrap the hull in bobble rap and reinforce with styrene aswell. The carbon was done by MHZ on my request...

There is no doubt I am pleased. You forgot one thing. The purple vinyl in-between the spokes of the gears. LMAO
