Dumas 45" Scarab

[srislash]

This hull trailing edge was real round and of course a sharp edge is wanted. I had left that to cure real good so I could sand it. A month should be enough. lol.
And upon sanding and grabbing a straight edge for it I discovered terrible concave in the bottom that made it up to 1/8” about 3” ahead of my epoxy work. SOOOO, more work to do and there goes the pretty bottom paint! Anyone say Speedcote?

That's fantastic . I haven't been here for awhile.
Congrats on the build!!

Long time no hear pal. Thanks



So it got in the water today
Well mechanically speaking it went well. No water in hull, everything cool, was capable of great speed, BUT.....
As soon as good speed hit it was hoping all over.
Then I remembered that I epoxied an edge to the rear of the hull.

The console turned out really nice

And at long last, just a flex to cut to length, install a prop and hit the water...

My U-pol Clear worked well!

Well let’s see how this turns out. A much slimmer windshield than it came with.



And the cockpit area is coming along (seats just placed ATM)

Great job I have one that needs a cockpit/hatch cover. I need to get started on it soon!

Ken-NJ made his own hatch which is how I got this one. He built his as the KAAMA Racing team boat. It’s on here in build threads just search his name and you can get an idea of how to build your own. Finding a replacement factory one will be next to impossible.

Gonna hand paint all of those gauges?

I actually have some airplane decals. But i will be doing something.

And thanks guys. I was reasonably impressed with myself. Ive never done any free hand airbrushing.
