              I've seen and raced against Pete's a number of times. You'll love the way this runs Larry. Kinda reminds me of those mini Whips you were building the way it runs.
              Sorry Terry I missed this post;
              "Mini Whip" do you mean like this one:


              This hull is my LSH and N2 Sport.
              Video is N2- Sport

              I am debating what to do with the nose piece.

                  Yes an update is due.

                  I got the paint done, Need to get some pictures.

                  Did a couple of test runs with different props last Sat. I am waiting for two new props (but Steven is out of stock right now)

                  I will get some pictures done and post them.

                        Larry, do I see a Buass style sponson mod there? It's got that inner chamfer that I remember Brian experimenting with.

                        I finally got going on mine too. I've epoxied the tub to the frames. Tons of work left. I'm making some changes here and there too. Tiny stuff. Hope to race it at the cup.

                          Paint is done, nothing special.

                          Rattle can.

                          3 coats each.

                          Still need to wet sand with 2000 and compound.

                            Yes you do see it, I run that on my Mini Wip and had it on my "P" Wip also.

                            I took your advice and put some foam in the nose.
                            I used 1/2" Pink that I used in the hull,
                            Glued 3 pieces together with 3M spray. Then carved and sanded it to fit all the way forward.

                            I used the 3M to stick it in.

                              I also got a bigger turn fin.

                              SS instead of the aluminum.
