That's foam on the nose right? you wouldn't want to damage this sexy beast

Yes. I put foam on the tips to protect it. I love this boat! even though it is not mine. Respect and care for others stuff.

well, you have to make sure it works, respect him and tell him how fast it goes before he gets it :)

You bet with out him and others I would be lost. I just have to have the weather and funds to go to Fremont and run it again. I really need a camera man the day and sleep the day before I go to run.

Well this is the last picture of the process on my end. fun build I wish I was not so chicken driving the boat but it was just not mine and I did what I needed to do.

Randy, I'm going to be building a Conquest over the winter, and plan on using your build as a guide. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using stinger drives instead of transom struts? Great build.
Thanks,
Rich

I went with the strut mount for strength. With a 10S2P set up and twins there was a lot of power to deal with. Stinger use the bottom of the over hang for strength side to side. You do not have that in the Conquest. I do not know all the setups in the world so there could be some I have not seen that are strong enough. this is what I liked and it works great.

Thanks for the input. I never thought about it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. I'll go with the struts.
Thanks again,
Rich

You ever get it built?

Yes Sir. Been playing with her for a couple of years. Very reliable pond runner. Thanks for asking.
