hope it looks ok for my first time, seemed to seal good. nut might have to order some more carbon fiber to Finnish inside hull. but tell the truth enjoying the build and working with my hands again

Looks Great, that transom is bullet proof now!

fix en to pour epoxy in the bow tip should i but some of the scrap pieces of fiber glass are cf in there before filling it up. i have both

[olwarbirds]

either one or both is not a problem...your not going to put that much epoxy in there, just enough to fill the tip.... DJ

ok got it thanks

[okieman98]

ok fulled my nose (bow ) with epoxy tonight, used the z poxy the only thing i dont like about it is it does not cure clear and does not show carbon fiber as good as what came with my kit. ok what i did on the bow what took left over scraps of cf pulled it into many stands, mixed it with the first batch of resin, pushed them into place with a wooden mixing stick then added the second cup on top of that, used some cup found at wally world turnd out they where hard plastic and worked very well mixing without melting. 100_2267.jpg100_2268.jpg

wife not liking me working on the kitchen table. but o well at least i have a peace of plywood down so no mess on table. told her to build me a shop and i will move everything out there along with my beer box but dont think she is going for the shop.

Looks really good, specially it being your first attempt at this...alot of us have same prob with lack of clubs, you have to do what I been working on and that is getting a club going in your area..takes awhile but our club is building... DJ

Man, that bow of you boat is as sharp/hard as a harpoon! As for working on dinning table, i have the same issue, i don't have a workshop and the garage is full of my toys, I face more "danger" if I have to reorganize my garage for work space.

thought this would help on hardware

To give you a perspective , here is the stinger and rudder on my 32" lizard Xtreme:

Your transom is not that tall, select wisely, also you need to consider trim tabs, real estate is going to be a bit tight.

thanks that gives me a good idea what everything is going to look like back there, looks good and clean. i see u have dual water pickup. are u running one on esc and the other on motor to keep heat down

Yes, two separate loops. In retrospect, it is not necessary the way I run my boats, I was just trying to be fancy, and the rudder is bigger , also longer which i had to cut short a bit, remember, anything big in the back just increases drag, keep it simple is the best policy.

well waiting to order more parts, not much $$$$ left after black Friday shopping, i have six kids and 3 grand kids might have to wait till after xmas to get more.
