The hull body fits fairly good. The sponsons are filled with foam. I am moving along on the build.

Actually making good progress. Goined the sponsons and tub. First one done with in a week or so.

[srislash]

Alright Randy!!! Looking good buddy!

[RandyatBBY]

Making progress The first Fiber glass boat is ready to trim the sponsons and fit them to the tub.

The second Carbonfiber boat is getting layed up.

Little warn out from laying up a boat yesterday. Sucks getting old. Cowl from last week in mold ready to pull today.

[RandyatBBY]

A new process I have been thinking about. Is to take the wet cloth and squeegee a thin film of slurry on to the cloth to make a clean CF finish. Light and strong. No need to paint good looks and no water leakage with CF. Also close to look of infusion but much stronger. This is the result

[srislash]

That looks fabulous Randy. And don’t worry about getting old, it happens to the best of us. As long as you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters.

I actually just had this conversation Saturday with Andy. Just keep the love.

Working on getting a scale scoop for the boats. I found a guy in canada to make one with a 3d printer.

Anyone I may know? On west coast?

What are you thinking Randy, perhaps the three butterfly type bug catcher?

[RandyatBBY]

I found this guy on facebook "Scale Design by MrcommaD". Any body know the manufacture of the scoop so we can get more scale detail?
Yes the scoop will be the three butterfly type that sticks up in the air a long way!
