    Scarab Weekend!

    My wife didn't bother me the entire weekend...she let me do my boat thing and kinda knew that I was at a point in the project that it was either going to sink or swim. I started laying up the hull Friday and Saturday. The moment of truth came Sunday morning and was blown away...not only did it pop out effortlessly but turned out perfect!!
    A frigging 60", totally scale Scarab KV hull!
    I'm ecstatic to say the least...hull weight is 5.1 pounds.
    I'm gonna lay up the deck later this week.
    I spent the rest of the day test fitting the motors and drives.
    Check out some pics!
    The flange around the hull will be trimmed to 3/16's and will be the epoxy surface that will connect the deck.20190512_173115.jpg

                                  WOW does that look good Alfa. Who makes it? I'm dreading scratch-building my cockpit insert.

                                      I agree!! Who did that KV Alfa? The front deck hatches, interior, and race engine hatches, are spot on to a 1:1 Scarab 38KV.

                                                      Alfa does that company sell to the U.S.? This might be my next boat.
