    P/Q Shooter...................a little longer and it would qualify for both P (34" max) and Q class (34" minimum)

    It would be interesting to see which is faster...P or Q.

        Ha! Nice. Man, those whips look great, D!! They were the inspiration for using the UL-1 cowl on my last three builds. I also love the way the back tapers down on the whip (tapers WAY down on your extended version).

              Great looking design and dedication to builder better all the time. I look forward to seeing how the changes improve things over the last version. Great work!

                Are you planning on sharing any pictures of your build? Inquiring minds want to know.

                  Oh ya, Here we go, the framing was easy. just make sure you run a straight center line on your build table an follow
                  the line up marks Shooter placed on the frame. Once I got that done , I placed the frame on top of the bottom skin
                  an traced around the frame to place glue, then set frame on it and placed weights on top. then I put 2 oz fiberglass
                  down in the center area front to back, with westsystem epoxy. here's some pic'sS7301094.jpgS7301096.jpgS7301098.jpgS7301100.jpgS7301104.jpg

                    Nice,

                    Thanks for sharing!

                    By chance can you get a weight on it once everything cures?

                      Cool. Thanks for sharing Darryl. Are you going to double up that transom? Did you use the 'dummy' motor mount prior to tacking? Did you use the jig? Thanks!

                        Shooter I am going to double the transom an add 1/8 " marine ply also. No to the dummy motor mt.
                        yes with the Jig, thats a good idea. I tack glue in in 6 spots easy to cut away , also on the bottom skin where
                        it angles up at the main double frame, I scored the skin so it would bend easy to glue up. when or if you try this
                        score the inside of the skin right in front of the doubler frame , make it a V cut half way.
                        this may help too, on the transom you have a center mark, cool I also placed marks on each end ( right an left ) sides
                        the same measurements of the first rear bulkhead, I glued a 1/16" sq stock up right on those marks to glue the inner frame to transom. you may be able to see it in my pics .

                            That's a good idea to score the bottom with a 'v' for an easier bend. How deep do you go? One ply? Thanks.

                              I try to go half the thinkness, you can do this on a table saw with a fine thin blade.
                              Shooter, what r u using for the nose on the boat?
