      It's Here!!!

      I came home for lunch and guess what was at my front door??? I'll give you a hint, It's BIG, It's beautiful, It's WOOD, and hopefully it hauls ass on the water!!! YES my GP 400 V2 is here and it is truely a work of art, looks way better in person then in pics. THANX Mike I'll put up some pics tonight, there's a lot more room in this hull than I thought there was. No problem getting everything in there, can't wait to get started tonight.

          Mike, What clear did you use on the first coat? I want to use the same, and what do you use for primer before paint?

            Hi Martin, he is working on the website, and a new instructuon manual now. He asked me to hold off for now until he had the whole transition ready. He is gonna do real big things for the tunnel lineup!

              Glad the first two arrived safe! Sorry u got in trouble Darryl. I use Dupont nason products, primer, base and clears. Add another coat of epoxy if you are only going to clearcoat the wood. If you are painting, just sand with 220, and use the nason 2k urethane primer to build the surface, then paint! Mike

                  Those hulls look amazing! Takes me back to years ago when I was first introduced to the hobby and they were all still wood. Just getting back into it now. Wish I knew enough to tackle setting one of those hulls up.

                  Cheers,

                    It is so Beautiful

                    A BUDGET rental truck just pulled up my driveway!! Turns out the Fedex truck was broken in the 100* heat
                    I knew these Fedex trucks are unpredictable but this has far exceeded my wildest imagination. Good thing that I wasn't fixated on the sound of a diesel engine....


                    Mike, it is SO beautiful and I just want to thank you for the September Christmas present!

                          I gotta get some pics of mine, it's almost ready for paint. I've got almost all the filling done and just need a final sanding. I went a little overboard with mine, I radiused the joints with epoxy where the sponsons meet the center section and filled every seam. It should look like glass when I'm done, I'm painting it a deep Pearl Purple with Neon Green ML logo and graphics.

                            Tim, your hull is framed up, and I will be adding sheeting this week. My day job has limited my time lately. I have been working on your 265 and another persons SX400 hull together. I laid up your cowl today along with other cowl orders. It looks great! Pics soon, Mike
