    carbon

    Just layed the carbon in. I still have to wait for the temps to come up to prime and paint. I might get away with it Saturday. I was suppose to work but now have the day off if the wifes to do list is not too long.

    TTH I agree I used to love the way this thing handled. At the time I was only running the SV system so this should be interesting.

      Ready for paint

      I put some carbon on the transom. It felt a little weak. I did the same thing on the right sponson where the turn fin is mounted. I would put this in the inside but there is no way you can get your fingers in there. Drive line was a little off so I straightened that out. Now no binding at all. Hull is completely ready for paint.

      I cant wait til it gets warm again.

        Nice looking work. I like the idea of putting carbon on the transom as a stiffener. She is coming along nicely. You will love this boat once you add more power.

              Nice work Will!
              For the turn fin I would lay a straight edge across the bottom of the boat and the mount your bracket 90 degrees to it.
              Make sure you have some fore and aft adjustment in the fin.
              Hey, how's the little guy??
