Hey mlaibu 1,

That paint is awsome.... I mean.. AWSOME! I am suprised you got the paint done before the first fit of the drive and steering gear?!?!? I would just afraid of killing the paint with my tools....
as faras the paint inside the hull goes, Can you not get the painter to do it?

Supurb job so far though!!!! :-)

Aslong as you don't leave it on the cf for too long it should be ok me thinks

[malibu1]

I think I may try that next. Is that safe for the Carbon Fiber?

[vvviivvv]

Could you not get it off with acetone and a scrubbing brush?

[malibu1]

I might not get a very good grade if I am being graded on the inside.. Had an issue where some paint made it to the inside of the boat.. Its not super bad but the carbon will never look as nice as it did when it came from HP.

V, I will probably do something similar to what is found in this build:

I may fill the rudder void first with epoxy, let it cure then drill the holes through the transom and epoxy and skip the tubes for the rudder mounting screws. To locate the holes for drilling, I am going to put masking tape over the rudder mount and mark the hole locations then peel the tape off the rudder and install the marked masking tape onto the transom. Then drill:) Sounds painless anyway. I may have a couple beers to get the curiage up before I drill...

hope the wedding went well anyway... ive already drilled 4x3mm holes started with a Archimedes drill (so easy to get it level) and worked up to 3mm just one hole doesn't properly line up (used hand drill for 3mm) ill either get it with a needle file or drill 4mm holes and do what Serge did although i don't know where ill get 4mm outer 3mm inner stainless might have to machine it at school the black rudder holder part doesn't ever need to come out really so i guess i could just mount the rudder with some 2 cm long screws and alot of washers and pour epoxy in
