Proboat shockwave 26 build

Since when is there a 6 image limit on this forum???

Here's the servo mount. Drilled holes in the CF so the epoxy will grab onto the mount



Here it is epoxied into place, and also a top shot of boat internals so far

looks realy good and clean,,,love the lines on these little boats,,the hatch gives it a great look also..

I have a boat setup this way also, it would pretty much ride on top of the water, I made some trim tabs and bent them down and the boat handled a lot better. Here is what I am running:http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...emade-hardware Did you add any meat to the transom? Might be something to think about.

Ok, so since I'm better off going with a stinger strut (thanks for that info BEFORE I finished, lol. Yes, it's sarcasm) I decided to modify it.

Here it was with the complete internals. The flat plate is for the ESC, the receiver will be mounted on the underside of that plate.


Here is most of that stuff removed. What you see is attached with the loctite hysol epoxy stuff, so it's not moving.


Using the SV27R strut. Here's the bracket in place on the transom. It's machined flat, so no offset angle.



Stuffing tube removed. Took off a bit too much when I slipped with the grinder.

Seriosly, why the 6 image limit?

Working on carrying the sharp V all the way down. I taped the bottom, and filled from the top with the epoxy. No pics of that. Will take some tomorrow before I do a final sanding on the bottom.

Company I work for does a lot of business with Henkel (loctite). I helped them get A LOT of that business with us, and I have a very good relationship with my sales/technical rep. I simply asked him for some, and he brought it for me.

You can buy it online. But not sure if it comes with the dispense kit that my rep gave me. I actually have the proper dispense gun so I didn't really need the kit.

If you look at post #7, the first picture shows everything he gave me. The epoxy itself, a vortex mixing tube, the clear cylinder, and the plunger. The epoxy pack slides into the clear cylinder, and the plunger is designed so that you can use a standard caulking gun with it. The votex mixing tube is not a must, as you can squeeze it out and mix it youself. It just makes things much easier for 1) getting it into tight areas with precision, and 2) it mixes the 2 parts good and well. You also have to keep in mind that whatever is left in the mixer tube, is pretty well garbage, cuz getting it out is not really fun.

Not sure what these plunger kits cost to buy, but if you are really going to be getting the hysol, I can ship you mine for free. Just cover my shipping cost and paypal fees. It'll likely be about $15 to ship the stupid thing with Canada Post's rates. I can also throw in a whole bunch of mixer tubes, as they really are a 1 time use item. That's why it's good to have all the stuff you need epoxied ready, and do it all in 1 shot to keep the waste to a minimum.
