    What part of Washington you in?

    It certainly is a stunning boat, definately an actual worthy Bud boat ;-) Im assuming thats the all CF version? this is the first time ive really seen up close pictures like this for WCCB hull. How do you seal the compartment? Do you have a subhatch of some sort?

    also, does he gelcoat or epoxy glass his hulls?

    i was really adamant not that long ago about getting one of those, i had frequented Craigs website several times, and didnt even know he was based in Seattle at the time too. Once I finally got the money and resources to seriously build a boat, his website was suddenly down and I had a ton of trouble trying to get a hold of him. I spoke with some local guys here on the forums and eventually got put in touch with Craig, but eventually I just decided to go a little bit bigger with 1/8.

    I think I may build pretty much the same as yours, albiet 1/8 scale. I got in contact with Phil Thomas in illinois and he built up a T5 with carbon fiber sponsons on deck for me. Ive been working on it for the past month. Although its alot of work because its raw epoxy glass and made for nitro, the darn thing feels bullet proof and is going to be a demon on the water. Im very happy with the overall construction and love the aesthetic, it looks amazing from many angles.

    however, I couldn't resist buying one more hull, this time from Steve G in Florida. The full-on scale accuracy he has on his T6 and the amount of options and features he has available were too much for me to resist. I went all out for this hull and I should be getting it in about 2 weeks, less hopefully :)

    Do you have any more pictures of your boat?

    heres a some of mine currently.

        It is the 2004 script bud. I'll get some more detail pics for you on his hatch it is designed to run with clubs that dont allow hatch tape. My club does so I only put a small piece on the back. It only gets water in if you flip. Cause I did once lol
