FS: Apparition Hull and Hardware Cheap

[v-spec]

I was going to cut along the sponson and dig it out and glass/epoxy them back on.

i hate that spray foam looks so cheap and nasty............

[bustitup]

I ran it like this it runs perfectly fine. The front of the hull does not and should not be touching the water except when the boat is at rest. .

yup forgot all about that....

[v-spec]

I've got the boat next to me still waiting on my worker to drop it off at the post office today if you want I can unbox it and try and get most the foam out for you. Should not be to big a deal really. Let me know. I can pressure wash the foam out more than likely.

V i hope you didnt take me wrong....I am in no way complaining about our deal.......I knew what I was getting myself into when i agreed to buy it at more than a fair price

Okay awesome.

I am going to try to dig out the foam with a coat hanger...(any suggestions here would be appreciated)

What about using a steel rod long enought to get into the nose with the very tip bent into an "L" (.25" or .50"). Chuck it into your cordless drill and go to town. Could be messy, but it might make quick work of the majority...

Good Luck!

Now, were is that thread I was telling others NOT to use this stuff...

You could try a Dremel w/ Flex shaft attachment and a wire brush at the lowest speed.

thanks for all the ideas guys....I will probably be trying alot or all of them before this is over

hmmmmmm i'm envisioning a whole new meaning to the term "liposuction"....LOL

Use a length of 3/8" or 1/2" copper pipe with one end cut like i^^^i it makes it kind of like a core drill.

Better yet just send me that prop in your avatar......... I canmount it to a flex shaft inside a stuffing tube mounted to a 4600 kv tor on 2s lipo and chop chop

Just run it like it is then if you feel it is necessary, try removing the foam. Careful. Those hulls are really thin! Easy to punch through it.

Just a thought but if you get the foam out is the hull gonna just pop right back or will it have any memory to the previously bloated shape? Are these hulls fg? I don't know much about how fiberglass behaves when it's bulged like that cuz I've never came a ccross this issue but I just figured I'd throw in my two cents worth. And two cents may very well be all it's worth:) Good luck and let us know what worked and how it worked!!

It should go back close to it's shape if heated up. It won't just pop back though.

Yes I am aware of this also......this will be an experiment
