    Ken, it's 33-1/2" x 17". Sized right between LSH and Q, for FULL P.

    Terry - COME ON!!!! There's plenty of time. The fireplace epoxy cure method is good for at least 3 days savings!!!

      haha That's not gonna help. The painting is the biggest PIA. No good place to do it.

      I've already started on the new Pursuit. I've got the 10th and the Thomas to paint and I haven't started the 10th yet. Plus Mike at ML is building me something special for LSH. That needs to get built too.

      I have to tell you though. Looking at your pics I can see a glass canopy for it in my head. Right down to the mold for it.

      How similar is this to your design from last summer? Sorry if you've already answered that earlier. haha

      Your last design was super stable at speed.

        Not very different than last year. See post #1! I'm struggling with the canopy. I wanted to make it look sort of like an eagle's head. Here is where I am at. Tough to tell before you add the window decal.

          I was thinking more tear drop and less scale. More like my Whip 20.

            I thought this hull was designed to use the UL-1 nose cone. That eagle design is terrible. Would that be a fixed design much like the "cut in two piece" Whiplash design. Think long and hard on this one.

              Deffinetly not liking the Eagle Head, I'd stay with the modifyed UL-1 before I spent time with that one. Sorry Pete..

                      Terry - That thing is beautiful!!!

                      The cowl Is pretty bad now that I look at it again. Detox is right. It's terrible and it looks like a fart. I don't want to join the other boats on Detox's ugly boat list!!!!

                      Darryl - I'm just bustin your chops. I've been busy too!!! Took me two weeks to do the deck!

                        By the way, if anyone has any cowl/canopy ideas, I'm all ears. I'm planning for a two PC design, but I've seen one pc designs look good if you keep the front tight with the nose (like Terry's), or even with a small lip for tape.

                          IMO you should stick with the UL-1 canopy with your drop nose mod. I really like that and it's easy to get the parts and adapt them.

                            I hear ya on the UL-1. It's probably the best looking canopy out there right now. However, the spacing under the nose is not large enough. This boat has a thicker tub to house batteries for full 'P' power. I think most of you guys are aware, but the nose on the original (see below) is not a UL-1. It is 'very close', but not exact.

                              Please don't !!! We don't want no ugly boat.

                              Maybe redesign the UL-1 cone without that skinny taper on nose (area forward of windshield). The original windshield design will be difficult to beat.
