Hey Guys, Been awhile since I had the time to sit and post anything. Since the boat is done for now I had a ton of stuff to catch up on around the house, the wife was real cool about me working on the boat every second I could, but I have to now catch up on the winter projects. The boat has been run...

After using the boat I am finding out that raising the transom 3" with out some kind of support was not a good idea. Could be just me but I dont like the way the top 3" flex's. I will try and put up some pic. of what I am talking about later. But it seems that the 3" is really not sup...

I just took it for a ride today and it rides solid,no leaks lol. But I do have a problem, last year when ever I would give it the gas the boat would put the nose down and as soon as I took the least amount of power out of it the nose would pop up and it would fly. As soon as would try and give it mo...

Thanks guys, This has been a lot of work but woth it. I learned a lot and I have to thank you guys for all the help. If not for this site I would not have done any of this. I put it in the water today and went for a short ride,it was to choppy to run it but just wanted to ride in it. What a differen...

My thinking is that the glue ( thicken resin ) and the 1708 is were the strength is the rest of the covering is just...

Well its almost done, I have finished the floor. It kinda sucks having to cover up all the work and the cool looking balsa but its done. Now I have to install the splash well and do some rigging and Im in the water for this year. I do have a few ques. Before I install the splash well I know I have t...

Here is the way I am going to close up the well in the back. I cut out the shape and set the saw on the same angle as the original splash well. So when I lay the wood on top it kinda locks it self in place. Still got some fine tuning to do but its getting there. I cant belive I am working with wood ...

Thanks Guys for the info on the steering extension. Here are a few pic. of were I am at now. I am thinking of mounting the gas pedal were you see it in the pic. That means I will be using my left foot but thats not really a problem as I have had other boats that were set up that way. If anybody has ...

Today I painted the inside of the boat with a expoy paint,this stuff dries hard as a rock. Then I glued down the front half of the floor.I left the back half out because I need to drill and bolt the L brackets that go on the bottom of the vulture. I have to change mine because they were pretty much ...
