BBY's "Close Call" scale/sport

[flraptor07]

Cool Glad you like it. The cowl needs final top clear rest is final coat. It is a runner and will love big power! Please do show the build on your part. Strut needs to be at least one inch down.

Oh I'm sure I'll be hollerin' at you for settings, I got all Speedmaster hardware and I'll do one of my custom turn fins. What style of turn fin works best on this boat?

I raced my SS30 two weekends ago I was a little slow after loosing a motor (it was 5 years old) I was working back up to my old speeds when I folowed the wrong person and wrecked in to two other BBY boats. I mangled my best prop. thinking the prop was toast I figured it was trash. I worked all week on my boat every extra moment I had. Mostly it was just bent metal no damage to the hull just a minor scratch under the front sponoson. I re trued all the parts and was looking at the prop, It had a crack in it and bent backwards quite a bit. So I thought to my self I am a metal worker and a what do I have to loose. So I annealed the prop and started to straighten it. I had to solder the crack and resurface the prop. Now by this time I had a new H10 prop for my boat. so I looked at it and sharpened and ballanced it. I also used the profile to bend the prop to the same thing (IE both props match sort of). Well I took the LSH (SS30) to the pond with the new prop I went 52.7 MPH, with the re done prop I went 54.5 MPH. Oh Happy Days! I get to race the boat this weekend and I am going to stay in my own lane.

That flake is bad a$$ Randy. I remember you like the HOK stuff. Is that HOK clear with multi color metal flake added? Quite the effect.

Need to get er done and take some sunny stills with it sitting in the water.
