That wet box looks like a good idea.

Started skinning the sponsons and non-trip. Decided to go with .06 styrene sheet because its light, durable and bends easy.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

Styrene is tricky to bond,`Marine GOOP' works very well. Be advised use in a well ventilated area. Stinks real bad...

Thanks Buddy!
Last of the sponson skins bonding. Careful balance of aero, fluid dynamics and contact patch went into the right & left sponson designs. Overlaps still need to trimmed and fine sanded.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally G-10 top skins are bonded to sponsons. Used small wood screws to hold the edges down while overnight bonding. They will be removed, holes filled etc...Attached Files~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~

CF Ram Wing skin & Bonding deck joints
The deck is put together in sections for ease of assembly (and repair). CF Ram Wing exterior skin bonding & deck joint are composite so you wont read joints if the boat gets really soaked.Last edited by K.R.Joye; 01-02-2019, 12:37 PM.~~~~~~~~`Mach 5 racing'~~~~~~~~~~~~
