      Thanks Dan
      Its been nice whipping this hull into shape
      only had 2 real issues that I didn't like, the hull would of been fine as is.
      I found the seam between the top of hull and bottom of hull had some hollows and very thin where the 2 pcs meet.
      I added 1 layer of FG to the hull seam on sides and rear of boat at seam.
      Then I added 1 layer FG on the bottom inside boat on sides, center and rear area .
      I also added a layer around inside the canopy .
      It made a dramatic difference in overall stiffness in the flat areas
      I am very pleased with the FG work
      The paint is a lacquer
      I am considering vinyl wrap from Darkside Studios on ebay but, they don't have a Voracity hull to digitize from yet. Id have to send them a hull to digitize a pattern

        Dang that thing looks sexy in white. Mine needs repaint one so I was gonna do it in a house of color blue that looks close to factory but seeing the shape of the hull in a different color, I might just change it to something else. Looks good!

          Thank you
          The white does show off the shape of the hull.
          I post a video of the boat after wet sanding and buffing to show off all the hours I have in the prep work.

                  Nice to see someone getting creative with the hull. I for one can't leave anything stock!

                          Thanks GUys
                          I am waiting for it to cure before handing it too much.
                          The weather is getting warmer here so, probably about 2 to 3 weeks the clear will be good and hard.
                          then I can wet sand and buff before assembly.
                          all I need is a prop for it.

                              The minimal amount of decals looks good
