Just for those intrested emailed hanspeter about the lay up of the boats... the first and the second laid up is glass. 'the third laid up is carbon kevlar. the sandwich is over the kevlar.'

I got that when I tried posting some pics off of my Wifes camera. Just open the picture in photoshop and resize it smaller. Do it a little at a time and keep saving it and checking the size. Thats how I do it anyway....

my camera for some reason is taking pics in 3072x2304 o.o

I got that when I started on here, I think it's the size of the image, It should be 800x600....

This is how my Carbon-Kevlar version look like.

The hatch does have a fiberglass layer as finish, it's transparent soaked with resin so the yellow-black grid can still be clearly seen. The surface is smooth and very comfortable to touch. However the inner side of the hull does NOT have a glass finish and the bare carbon-kevlar grid is so rough that each time I get my hands in I must be very careful to stay away from getting hurt, and that makes battery tray a must otherwise the lipo packs' shrink wrap will be destroyed.

Guess Hanspeter did this intendedly for the customer can have a stronger bond when fixing all the hardware into the hull.

malibu, is your carbon surface smooth or rough?

Newcastle, they don't mind Fe here since the clubs fairly new ive got some scale electric boats which they love but really they like anything fast just when i need some knowledge on whats gone wrong i get well what does this thing do what does this thing... im better off asking on here :) im sure if i had a gasser they could help but electrics

was planning on going to the English saws... but its about a 9 hour drive... and i think it was called off because of bad weather, it used to be held about 20 mins from me in like 2004 then the interest died i think ill make the journey next year with my hpr06 see what numbers we can crack

I'm with ya man! I tell you what, Give the thing to me and I'll have all the fun, Oh, I mean 'do all the hard work' for ya! Lol!!
I know how much time college can and does take up!!!
I'm going to have to wait until I have saved up enough just to buy one and then I have to find the time to do the building!!! Work sucks!!!!

[vvviivvv]

Aint got the time, im in a 6th form college and its 9 - 4 then a hour to get there / back on the school coach... doing 4 as levels the amount of work i get = no time to build a boat, weekends i go to my holiday house couldn't fit the boat in with the dog etc... 15th of December is when i break up so i guess thats when ill make a good start

[KillerDave]

Hull is still in its box, un drilled

OMG! What are you waiting for? Get building!!!

[vvviivvv]

[JCAustralia]

Would the yellow kevlar not show where the hull has been cut/drilled, at least as one middle layer on a very closed look/inspection?

While this black finish looks nice and neat, a carbon/kevlar does look so sexy and does add an extra cool factor...... Something to brag about with the mates

Dunno how it all works but the bubble wrap the boat came in had something like carbon/kevlar written on it might get the boat out and take a better look its certainly stronger than other fiberglass boats i have...

Edit: ill ask hanspeter and that will be that lol
