Avanti's Manx, twin powered micro cat

[Avanti]

A hatch on each sponson directly above each motor?

that is what I am doing as I don't care if the motors gets wet............ you guys are gonna love what I have planned......

[Avanti]

I have the tub on one of the boats.
now I'm kind of out of the zone though, so I'm not sure when these will be finished.
I'm also second thinking twins.......................

Looking good, I think twins will be worth the effort.

[Avanti]

ok I have the bottom all skinned out, next I need the trim it up so I can attach the gunnels.

[ace028]

Your gonna catch up to my build pretty fast.

[Avanti]

The gunnels are on and ready to be trimmed.
maybe tomorrow I will feel up to resin coating the inside of the hull.

edit: trimmed down the gunnels and epoxied some of the hull, pics added

So how did the beveling of the stringers work out for you ? it looks like everything fit tight.

[Avanti]

I did not bevel them I cut them off at the dotted line on this one. I might bevel the next (I just don't know that is a step I need to take)

[peells]

I made that step (beveling) with you twin motor guys in mind as it added an extra 1/8" in depth to the sponsons. and would allow the skin to fit totaly flush against the stringer.

John,
What is going on? I haven't seen any updates lately, are you pondering motor mounts or something? has a hurricane landed in your back yard? (sure hope not) well anyway lets have some updates, I am building Ace a rudder assy. for his birthday and I found not to work on stuff like that while sick toooo many mistakes.

[Avanti]

I have the inside of the hull all filleted with epoxy that is all
I have been busy with work and school
I know what I am doing for the mounts, I just need the time to do it
most likely this will wait until the next month or two
how are Ace and your boats coming?

[peells]

I have been sick and my boat is stalled out for right now I am waiting to buy a motor and esc combo, and I have a couple of questions which will have to wait for later.

[Avanti]

Quality hardware

I just received a nicely made rudder from Lonewolf today, maybe it will give me the motivation I need to get back to work on the little rocket. I have the inside painted, but have stalled out on my motor mounts. I know what I want to do, I just have not had the time or motivation to do it.

[peells]

so what did that set you back? good job

[Avanti]

it set me back a tunnel hull
