    Hey Bruce, I did finally complete the epoxy application on the problem areas. Feels rock solid now, it's not the purdiest, but I'm learning. I'll add some new pics to my build thread I started. I want to take a shot at fabricating some trim tab / turn fins that are a little bigger.

    Still thinking about the paint scheme. I want to do a water droplet effect I saw on YouTube on the top of the hull and hatch that was pretty neat. On the sides of the hull, maybe a little carbon fiber effect and then the logos.

    I'm still half tempted to just put her back together and see what she runs before paint, 30-40 per the OSE calculators depending on prop selection 40-51mm. Should put me right where I want to be versus the Supervee 27 and BJ29 on 4S.

        hope Bruce (rc boaterguy) approves he has given me much needed knowledge on these abs hulls and changed my outlook on them. once i finish all that i have i have a new abs hull in mind
