[macdon]

Cool,that is a speed I am getting used to.
That 37" is shaping up to be a winter build,mmm,will we make it Mac?Isn't there something important supposed to happen at the end of the year?

Oh, then scratch my recommendation and get THIS instead:

Hmmm........... a bit quiet around here lately.

Hey guys - I uploaded pics of my 3rd gas boat in my photo album here in ose. Just click my name/profile and check out the album. Hope to maiden her by tomorrow.

I also wanted to share pics of the Stryker F-41 I got for free from a friend .......... its totaled but Im challenged to do something to it even if it ends up only as a plug for a mold.
I think its beyond economic/viable repair - unless you plan on using it as a battering ram! hahahaha! But I'd certainly take Lenny's damage any day over this type of damage. The canopy is even fused/fiberglassed to the body - so thats an additional challenge that has to be done right. Hey, its free anyway - but its the challenge that makes me excited! hehehehe

Hey Mac, how did this happen? How does a boat get so badly damaged?

Wow Jerry!!! I am impressed,that looks awesome buddy.Too bad a few of us couldn't get these all together for a show and shine.I love the black metallic on the sides.

The Mayan calender and the end of the world Mardon.Run everything you got like you stole it on that day.

[HYDROJERRY]

thats funny Srislash,, i wasent going to say anything about the metallic black, i was hoping you guys could see it in the pics and not just think it was a reflection, i actauly didnt have any metallic black so i sprayed the black and then dusted it with the silver cool!!!PS other then the top hatches i didnt have any of the little ones for the front so i drew them on!!!

Jerry I don't remember how it looked when u first repainted it but it looks perfect! Don't change a thing. The black with silver flakes looks amazing! Keep up the good work

My friend hit the water feature fountain sprout while avoiding hitting a fellow boater - thus the damage.

For hardware and stuff adhered to the motor, we get 'em from HOR Racing in Hong Kong:

http://www.horracing.com/index.php

This includes stinger/strut, flex shaft, stuffing tube, rudder, trim tabs, turn fins, pulley, coupler, motor mount, coil relocator, throttle bellcrank and alum isolator block.
Of course, if you want the best - buy Speedmaster hardware from the US.

For the rest which is either from Dubro or Sullivan, we get them from Phil's in the US:

http://www.philshobbyshop.com/catalog/

I typically order from their ebay store since they consolidate everything for a cheaper int'l shipping.

This includes from Dubro:
4-40 steel kwik links, universal kwik-switch mount, 3' Tygon 1/8 ID fuel line, silicone tubing x-large for water line and large scale in-line filter

From Sullivan:
16onz fuel tank, gas fuel tank conversion kit, 4-40 locking ball connector and large Tee and elbow fittings

Thanks guys glad you all like the repaint job,, i went to the lake today and still cant get the Vhull to do wright but ill keep fooling with it, MG ran great as always, i installed a rubber ring on the flexshaft just before the nylon washer and it helped alot for the water getting up the shaft spraying inside the hull, just for any that have that problem, So whats the deal Srislash you going Gasser now ''Trader'' just playin hahaha,, PS i think im getting my wifes father intrested in FE's maybe, ill keep trying on him.. ''O'' and i did the wetsanding on the Genesis to do the second coat of clear and i used the hatch coverd in plastic and the boat turned out good but i gess cuz the heat and humidity the plastic screwed up the hatch (will it ever end) anyway ill fix it and move on, gotta get it back in the water!!!!
Ed are you building or just thinking about it,hahahaha
