        You are correct, I meant the Delta Force 33. Also looking at the Titan 33. DF 33 is similar to the Pursuit. Thanks

          I marbled the red, you can't really tell in the pics but it looks nice in person. I'm going to paint the windshield a darker silver/grey. I don't like that light silver.

            Looking great. I really like how the black turned out, nice mix with the pearl.

              Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to get to the paint booth this weekend to spray the clear. Then all I'm waiting to continue the build is my H&M collet to arrive from Rocket City.

                Well I lost motivation with the weather being so cold, but I got the bug back this evening watching some video's from the summer. I still haven't clear coated it yet, because I have to do a few small touch ups around the windshield then I'll get it clear coated and buffed out.

                I just made a few orders here on OSE this evening and my collet and flex cable should arrive beginning of next week, so I'll have everything on hand to start gluing in the stringers and flood tube. I have a little work to do on the motor mount since the back ring when fully tightened doesn't even touch the can, but I think I have an idea to make it work.

                  Just finshed doing the clear coat and I'm happy with it. Tomorrow I'll polish out the clear then start playing with my setup to find out where I want to place everything. I made 4 exact size & weight mock up Revolectic lipo's to better assist me with placement and balance before I go buy them. Basically this boat will have stringers from the transom running up about 2/3's of the way with a rail mount motor and a carbon fiber flood tube. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

                                P MONO has a max length of 34"

                                ------------

                                Nice build. Lots of work making a hull flat and straight huh? I have an old DF33 and the pulls from way back I find were much nicer than the ones now. DF also used to bufff their hulls to a shine and don't do that anymore either. I still like them a lot and have Cyberstorm to get done eventually.

                                Great job on the build and please keep posting the progress.
