            Carbon fiber

            Reinforced mine today with some Carbon/Kevlar also. Seems much stronger and hopefully will handle a spill at "twin" speeds. Put it down with CA and then went back over it with some FG resin for extra strunth.
            What ounce Carbon did you use? surprised it would take the corners so well.....GREAT JOB

            ...Hatches I am working on 3 different designs, I am going as fast as I an , however they will be worth the wait.

            I have put this in front of a bunch of stuff. should have pictures up Friday night, for orders..

            Most of my stuff is for larger boats so I had to hand make al the plugs for the new scoops...

            what about a Elect,,king of shaves?? I have a blank hull, I want to get going? if you have any parts, let me know, how fast can i get this boat to run???

                I got it from hobby king and they don't list the cloth weight on their sire. It's fairly thin maybe 5-6oz??? Pretty decent quality for the money.

                    Well I have done my best, and what I thought was a close match to the gelcote , well will not fly in my book, so all of them will have to be painted.

                    This has been a time cosuming, and expensive deal, , however I said I would do it, and Iwill

                    I have the optional scoops laid up, and I think they look so much better than the original,

                    I am laying up a canopynow , and will cut all the old ones off , and do a moch up, so everyone tell me what scoops choices you want.

                    Thik I will stick with the bigger boats, lol

                    Does anyone have 2 items, I want a genisis hull, and I need a replecement hatch for my gas Seagad , I had it on the bench to make mirrors off it, and dropped another hatch on top of it , smash.... just has NOT been my night !!!!!!!!!!!

                    I will make someone a hell of a offer, a trick custom paint job, for all the stuff I need to get my KOS elect boat going, all I have is the bare hull... or if someone wants it make offer...


                    How do you attach pictures here, and I will show you the kind of work I do...

                        I am ordering some Polystyrene and see if I can pull a few. They will be .80 and should be tough and will not crack or shatter.

                          I have an extra EKOS canopy that may fit your Seagad.

                          Is your seagad the same as the EKOS hatch?

                                Rich, when you click "post reply" and not type down in the "quick reply" there will be a " ,anage attachments" button, or from the quick reply, click "Go advanced", the youll be on the same page. Click that then another box will pop up, click browse to go to your pictures, then when you have the ones you want, click upload, then post it!

                                Thats the same problem I had with gelcoat. I couldnt get it to match. I did come up w/ a blend of paint thats spot on though. Im just going to offer mine white or painted to match.. Seems a few are starting to re-scheme thiers.

                                Also, Ive got an un-run Genesis that I was getting ready to take a part and twin. Its the Artr from Hobby city. If your interested, shoot me a PM, lets talk.
