HPR 115(Average White Boat)

[Lone-Wolf]

It has one from HPR, and seams doubled. I did this to my Fantasm which is on its fourth year(or fifth), with I don't know how many crashes and it is still fine. This takes the possibility of the deck flexing out of the equation. I also do it to my monos.

All your extra precautions will pay dividends down the road as you know. All my hulls that have layups seem like they could easily do with more.

Lookin' good!

Nice looking set up like the stringer supports that way will try that in my 92 instead of cross support looks much better.

What epoxy do use use for the cf tryed some two part but it didn't hold on 3mm sheet ordered some zap to try. didnt cloth those parts just was checking out some things.

And sand all parts/areas so the epoxy has something to hold. 80-120 grit is fine

BTW, I use SystemThree Laminating Epoxy(SilverTip)

Either epoxy mentioned will do the job well. I would think this a good improvement on a hull that big if you are going to push it.

Have been looking forward to this build for quite some time, sometimes when the lake ices over its a good thing forces you to build lol.

I like the stringers, need to do some thinking about bulkheads for some of my boats too. Did one a few years ago on a super daytona and it really helped out.

Do u foam the sponson tip's with foam also or no? On my esc's sf 300pro + i used the Hifei cap packs solder the 4 wires on the back has 8mm bullets for wire connections on the front for battery's easy setup for parallel or series setup. unless those cap banks aren't good???

Ah' I didn't think of that. But my space is going to be tight as I am putting the esc's in the sponsons. But I will investigate!

As far as foam, this is still weighing in my head. I have two new Kintec foam kits here so I think i will. I am leaning that way. I did it on the last couple boats.

So onto the good stuff: DRIVES!!!

I was thinking this was going to be a simple 'drill and install' but upon drilling my holes for the drives I discovered how thin the layup was here



So transom doublers had to be installed. It required two thinner pieces as one had to level the area and the final covered the whole area.

And installed/drilled

[srislash]

So all installed





My apologies that i did not take pics of the method for squaring the pedestals, the next time th boat is upside down I'll take a pic and put here. But what I did was run two K&S tubes thru the bearings within the drives extending rearward the length of said tubes. You can then measure the distance between them front and back to maintain square drives. Use a marker to dot the pedestal holes and there you go.

Lookin' good Shawn, the transom doublers look awesome.

I've always been a fan of adding a doubler at the transom definitely adds some support for the stuffing tube too.
