**wolf IV** · 04-20-2009, 01:46 AM

Started this build after recieving a lightly used h&m maritimo hull off rrr. Its gonna have 2-1515 1.5d's, 2-hydra 240's, 2-4s 5000 mah, front & rear carbon bulk heads ... Ill post some pics i shot the cowl today, its a 3 stage burnt tangerine..enjoy... Ive got tons of pictures of the entire build so if any one is interested just ask..

Wolf , The paint job on the hatch looks sick dude. Can't wait to see the rest of the boat. Good job!!!! BONEWAR

**wolf IV** · 04-20-2009, 08:47 PM

Thanks bro, i bought a gold pearl today and will do the water droplet efect mixed with black on the very front of the bow/deck just a hint when i shoot the top of the hull. The bottom is going to be white with a heavy abalone pearl in the clear coat. It will look reeeaaally clean when finished. I started back at work today so my time is limited once again.. I left you a pm on rrr about the sponson shape if you could check it out and get back to me to get this guy moving along.. Thanks bro!

**bonewar** · 04-20-2009, 11:00 PM

Wolf your pm box is full on RRR . I put a straight edge across the spoonsons and both have a angle all the way through the steps. Couple of pics to show you.

**wolf IV** · 04-20-2009, 11:55 PM

Perfect bro, thankyou so much for the quick response & pics! Just as i suspected, my left sponson(s) all the way up are almost flat? Right side is great, just like your pic. I new this was wrong so i already started block sanding the left side and its almost there...quit raining there yet?

Hi Wolf IV,

I am interested in seeing how your build is going.

Great job so far

**wolf IV** · 05-04-2009, 07:49 PM

Hey thanks, ill get you guys up to date soon, as yesterday was my birthday and ive been selling tons of stuff on ebay to fund this build.. My next step is to paint the deck and ill be done with the hull. Then comes the inst. Of components ans jeff wholt is machining my shafts right now, then i can do all the drive components. Unfortunantly one of my cc240's isnt working ??? And i dont have the windows vista version to plug it in and see what the setting are at, my time has been limited. But this buid will start rolling real fast in the next two weeks!!!!

Wolf I am a fire and safety inspector. Glad to see you have an extinguisher in the workshop

**wolf IV** · 06-05-2009, 11:59 PM

Haha.. Ive got everything from race fuel to resin and you name it in the garage! I had the marshal check out the garage when they came over to inspect my cleaning job upstaires after a little lipo accident :0

**tth** · 06-06-2009, 12:42 AM

The only fire extinguisher good for a lithium fire is a class "D" unit.Good luck with the ABC for lithium. It'll work for just about anything else tho.

Hey man...hope you are feeling better. Can you tell me what the length of the shafts I made you are from the 6mm point to the 3/16" I have another set to build and do not have the stingers.

Looking very nice!

**wolf IV** · 06-06-2009, 03:44 PM

The 6mm part end to end is (2.514'') and 3/16 is (1.05'')

Dang, Wolf, you the CF master! very nice and black. Great looking build. I see you have motors very far back, why did you place them here? I am thinking for mine 8-10" from the transom. Haven't done it yet and was wondering if I should think about more aftward...
Thanks
