    I use flowcoat, same as on my real boat's. It's already white so no painting needed. It's also easy to work with. Always good to know there's something else out there that I can use. Where in qld are you mate?.

        Permatex epoxy putty, break of a chunk knead it, stick it on give it a rough shape then file and sand once it cures. Turns out grey but if the hull has that much damage I'll probably paint it anyway, maybe! LOL I kinda like all the repairs on my Motley Crew, kinda starting to look like a rat rod. Fitting as only the hull and strut are original.
        Can get Permatex products at most auto supply shops.
        If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

          Nice, always liked rat rods. At least it's unique husky you wont miss it screaming around a pond. If you are ever up for a run joker drop us a line mate. Im just down at currimundi bud.

                  Hey Dave, Gus here mate. It's nothing flash, reliable and just fun. Its a 32" cat running solinger harware, 200a swordfish speedy, 40mm 3 blade prop(not to sure on specs) and a recently added Leopard 3665 2100kv motor all on 4s. Still havn't had a chance to run this motor but with the old 8xl that was in it, i guesstimate about 60k's flat out. I just can't judge the speed all that well so thats just winging it. Look forward to hearing from you mate. Gus
                  Almost forgot, also just done a modded NQD jet boat too.
