Randy how do you get for these hulls?

It all depends what you want me to do. Most start at $400. bare bones CF and go up from there.

There is a enclosed chamber around the stuffing tube to keep the epoxy from melting in the hull. The water comes out the center hole threw a fuel line to the motor or ESC . The last tube sticking up is a oilier feed for the flex shaft.

Why the cooling? Is there so much friction that the shaft overheats and melts the epoxy? What's the RPM?

Non Teflon setup a little over kill to keep the epoxy cool and hard. Epoxy softens at 180 degrees the stuffing tube will move then and cause more friction. It keeps the shaft in the correct place at 45k to 55k rpm. Mostly this is used for 1/4 flex shafts and high reving 3/16 shafts.

Little up date on the boat. I am in the process of re tooling the deck mold to have the drop down included on the mold and clean up a little.

[RandyatBBY]

I am in the final stages of waxing, 5 coats so far on the buck.

[RandyatBBY]

I put on 4 more coats of wax, two coats of PVA and now the first coat of epoxy,milled FG and black pigment.

[RandyatBBY]

New molds done, base wax being applied.

Newest part pulled and ready for fitting, this one will be the 37 inch version kit. 8S1P Neu.

why not use a higher heat epoxy? Like jb weld..... thats what i use mostly and i only had one move....in a crash at 91mph...

I have..... just a safety thing to be 100% sure. Ya know cross your tees and dot your I's. I have never had a problem ever with cooling on the stuffing tube. It stays ware I put it. JB weld has to sit for 20hr. too!

O i understand totally.

I have been thinking about trying a rigger. i have not owned one yet. could you just do the hull and sponsons in carbon, and i'll do the rest? basically supply me with the three major pieces. I imagine this can be wet sanded and buffed out if i wanted just a carbon look? thinking about a 26"(ish) version.....pm me a price if you dont mind.

Any way the fit and finish is great on the new deck.

This one is a 30 to 34/37 inch size, there is a smaller 26 inch size I do.

This is the 34 oval.
