Thanks Tim!
I completely stole the scheme from Joel. If you've seen his df45, I ripped his rite off lol
It's classy looking I think

Actually online it's more expensive. The shipping is what kills it. I've been using this resin from composite envisions which I found really good! I got a gallon for about $80 which is a steal. Compared to west system it's nearly identical in its properties. It's very thin once you mix it so it wets the fabric out quickly, especially if warmed up, and i use the fast hardener (which is still slow...) which gives more rigidity vs slow ones, that's what I was told and so far I've noticed the difference. I like that it's rock solid but still has enough flex that it doesn't just crack if bent excessively. I agree, the cheap zpoxy is very brittle and should be avoided at all cost for lamination or any serious cf work. That stuff is good for clear coating and cosmetic work where strength isn't a priority. A good way to see the quality of resin is when you peel it off of a squeegie once done laminating. The cheap stuff just cracks. Good resin is the one that has a bit of flex but feels as solid as metal when fully cured. I'm pretty happy with mine, not sure why I want to try west system again, maybe i just like the name of it! I find that most marine grade resins of this level are essentially the same when used properly.

Also, i don't trust those pumps. I use a scale to measure mine. I'm paranoid about wrong ratios, like if there is some resin already inside of the pump and then you pump more through, it just seems too easy to mess it up. With a scale you get 100% each time.

I ordered some 105/206 and a pump kit for 80 bucks shipped. Then I found the 207 on Amazon for 38 shipped so I ordered that for inlays. Guess that's as good a deal it gets.

maybe. he made the originals for joel, so i messaged him. he said no prob and to send my paypal, and he would invoce me....
i haven't heard from him in two weeks. i messaged him again... nothing.
I know he's a busy guy so i don't want to bother him....

The boat looks super.........................good thing you added a windshield to it so the drivers can see now.................you'd hate to be ramming into docks and such.

Looks so good!
My parents had nothing but AMG vehicles for years so kind of tickles me to know see it on boats. I still couldn't see my self buying one though, IF I could afford it... lol

Looks pretty good and I hope it runs even better! I am wiping your thread off from my drool now.... lol


In a way I think if you add to many decals it may take away from the AMG "feel". Yours though!

35" boat needs a 1527 1.5D 1500kv on 6s would be perfect!
