The sponsons are built. Man, this is a simple and strong design.

About the halfway point, right?

Looks great coming or going...

Looking great Sam, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see it fly across the water. Have you decided on a color? Natural? If painting, what type of paint do you use?

Thank you. Got to mix colors with natural. I love that combo! I'll use Klass Kote epoxy paint. Not sure yet on color, whatever I'm feeling when that day comes. [emoji106]

I've got a servo mount left to fit. It's on order from ZippKits...

I did the matching 45 degree angles trick here to fit the rudder mount on the transom. Filed matching angles to the strut mount...

There's two coats of sealer on the inside. And the outside is glassed, sanded and ready for paint.

The setup I came up with to completely seal the sponsons all around at once, and let cure. Still keeping it together for the final coat of paint...

You had me right up until the auto bailer. Man, I hate those things. Rest of the build is coming along quite nicely.

Thank you! I love those things! Always works, never lose a plug. Funny...

I've got the basic color scheme done. I'll tape and mask for painting the windshield next. Still needs the final sealer coat where I've left it natural...

I went with decals instead. That's not black. I find that cutting windshield decals from smoke grey decal sheets looks more realistic. It's still a decal, just looks better to me...

That's really starting to pop. I think paint is worth spending some time on.

I mean, you're the one gonna be looking at it for while, right...
