    SICK!!!!!!! That boat looks awesome man!!! Killer build!! Where did you get the euro air scoops for the cowl?? I was debating putting the scoops on my Daytona, then i saw the windshield washer squirter covers earlier in the thread, they look good too, those i can find but i can't seem to find the euro style scoops.

      Thanks, I got those scoops off of a ekos clone hull's canopy. They were just held on by 3 screws per scoop.

        Very nice. I'd be willing to bet if you didn't tape it you take on water sitting still. That thing sits loooowww!

          It comes up on plane nice and there really isnt much hull in the water when I run. And I always tape my hatches, just because you never know what could happen and prepare for worst case possibility.

            Got the clear sanded down today then touched up a few areas. It will be ready to respray clear on it pretty soon then it will be done. We have a old Jaguar XKE we are restoring in the shop that will be getting some clear coat put on in the next stage. Im going to have my boat ready to spray it with the car so I can get some really good clear put on her.

              I got the boat sanded down and the decals are on now. I'll get it clear coated in the next few weeks.

                  Nice work on the decals they turned out great glad they all worked out!!
                  Was not easy to get them all the way they needed to be to make sure they cut correctly.

                      Appreciate the compliment.
                      I do what I can to help make things work out.
                      I like to think I am one of the best and able to produce just about anything you can dream up.
                      This time it worked out well!

                      Boat looks great!!
                      Decals go well with the paint job!!

                          Thanks, I'll prob get it tested to full potential and a video made up this coming spring. Maybe sooner if I find a nice warm day after everything cures out.

                            Got the clear sprayed on today. It's been a long wait. But it's closer to being finished.

                              The boat looks awesome. IMO One of the best looking fightercats i've seen ... period. What happened you disappeared for a bit.

                                I've gotten back into my ham radio hobby. So I've been really active helping friends out in climbing towers and putting up antennas. Also I've taken on some responsibility of being one of the states frequency coordinators for repeater systems. So I've been really busy with work and that stuff.
                                I've been working on the boat when I can. And it's been waiting for weeks to have the clear put on it. Thank you for the complements. I can't wait for a nice warm day to go to the lake and run it. I've also got some props that should push it really well I've been waiting to try for months.
