          I've already modified my GP265 sponsons to resemble yours. Will be doing the same on a 335 kit like yours. Less air trapped...

          I usually put a small coating of epoxy on before any primer. I also do my filling or fillets before the first epoxy coating.

          Nice work!

                      Sarasota has a pretty good Symphony Orchestra, and the best beach in the world.

                        Ray, I have a couple of friends who played there years ago. It is a very good orchestra, however, when I relocate, all I want to learn is how to make wood boats and hang out , hopefully I don't ever have to play my cello for a living any more.

                          Can't wait to hear about your first runs. Looks nice and clean too, great job.

                            YeeHaa, a 60+ mph P-Sport heat race boat! Got a few things to work on, but i am extremely pleased with the maiden voyage.
