The sponsons are actually the same as stated above. In fact I cut mine out together by stacking and tack gluing the foam and wood laminate for two spnsons prior to cutting out on the band saw. You can look at these plans and see.

Hi Ron,
No glass on these. Just two or three coats of finishing epoxy.
Congrats and good luck!!

Yes sir I sure did. VeryOriginally posted by Xfactor View PostMr smock did you forget me?
No I haven't built a 45. I am making plans to build a modified (tub) gas version.
I'd like to help you out with a set of sponsons, but I have some other projects that need my attention.
We can talk in the fall if you still have the need, ok?

Two down.....
Well I shipped out two of the builds this week. Took some pics before I boxed them up.
The third one is staying local and I'll be putting a real P-Limited setup it.
I'll post some pics of that one too.
Ron, with the UL-1 motor and esc you'll be happy with a Octura 1450 or ABC H-7. The boat will run good and you won't punish anything

Looks awesome! Will the vacu-boat cowl fit if the top peice is not cut for a single cowl? I got one coat of epoxy on the tub and sponsons. Thanks again Doug.
