        Nice work sir.
        What prop is that? It looks huge in the pic.

        Be sure to send Phil pics of your build for his site. That's a good looking pickle,

          Thanks Doug, the prop is a Grim 40x55, its the only prop allowed where I race. I read somewhere the X440 is good? I love this boat, the quality of the hull is the best I ever seen for styrene, and you cant beat the price

                I have a friend who does them on his computer. Photoshop is the program I think he uses. He prints them off on vinyl sticky back paper, we apply them and then clear coat over them. There not true to scale, but very close. He also did the Tide decals, that you see in my Avatar.

                Thanks for the comments I will do some testing this weekend and hope to have a video on You-Tube soon. Looking to buy a Garmin GPS so I can get some speed readings.
