Phil Thomas SS21- Build

[nate]

Ok thanks for the info, Ill be picking up some in a few.

[nate]

I went and picked up a few things today,
I bought some DryDex Spackling from lowes,
an then went a got that Bondo filler putty from Autozone
Z was talking about.

Both work well, The spackling is usless in the fact when it dries
it washes off when your doing a wet sand..

but other than that it works well...

The Glass putty works better...

Goes on smoother than the drydex, and becomes a better hard filler over all.

I'am waiting for it to dry now, I had to go ahead and do just about the whole boat...lol..

Its slowing working out though.


Spackling...

Glass Putty....

After an hour of sanding...Im actually getting somewere. All the pin holes, and over hangs have been sanded and filled,

Im going to let it set for a bit then put another coat of primer on and see if there are a

few places left that need filling...

Question, Will an M445-2blade be too much for 5s2p on the Hydra120 and Neu 1.5y???

[nate]

I was thinking about starting on an x442 for the first run..

[nate]

Finally!! Got done with most of the fill in's ...

Im slowly getting everything together, the primer went on well,
and most of the pin holes are gone.

Iv got to get a second coat on..

Also I had to include pic's of the SM Strut and my motor mount..

The top of the hull went great..this paint is taking forever to dry tho.

Haha.. its gunna be pricy!

If it runs in the 50's Ill probably keep it,

theres nothing like going to the lake and everyone asking..

"OMG..Can I buy that from Wal-mart"!!

[Rumdog]

It never fails.... How much is that thing? How fast is it? Where can I buy one? I've even had, Can I drive it? Nate, i'm sure that you'll see 50's from that thing!

[nate]

Ill be happy with 50 even, maybe up too 55-56mph on 5s with the
right prop.
