Skunk Works 2nd Gen Cat Hulls... 5 Ready

[Boatman]

Thanks Ray.. luckily they are the ones I ordered. I got them for another build, but who knows.. I may still use them on the Skunk. The mod a did to the SV stingers is perfect. I think they are going to be a much better fit. But we will see.



That hurts. Been there, done that... and so I learned, test fit, then test again. Then lightly tack the mounts w/ a couple drops of CA, then test it again.. when you know its good, lock it in.

Ha! yes however I plan to throw this sucka 80 mph so I had a 1521 mounted in there. It fit, just a nipple on the cooling jacket was in the way. Building may resume. I am thinking this thread may get shut down soon so we should start a build thread.

I think you should start a build thread on yours... your gunna get a loooot of questions when people find out you have an 80mph skunk. Thats what I like to hear! Besides Im sure we would all be on it watching. I started a Build thread on my twin HOTR.. Its nice when most replies focus on your boat, diffrent ideas etc etc rather than a bunch of stuff going on

So, back on topic.. is anyone close to getting one of these hulls wet???????

[befu]

Got mine

Well, I got mine in this week. The hull seems were as they were described. Scotty is right, some spot putty and wet sanding and it will clean right up.

One thing that I did notice, it looks like they pulled the deck from the mold early. The front of it in the middle and the front of the sponsons on top are a bit wavy. Not real bad, but not smooth either. I will get it cleaned up nicely, easy to work with.

the style is great and sitting next to the mean machine it even looks better!

the hatch detail is nice, the bottom looks perfect. That is the important part. For $130 delivered, I am very happy as my other option was the HOR. It is no German work of art, but the price is right.

I am geeked about this build.

Seeing the pictures of the bottom, Skunky did it just right. Nice edges etc...

Good buy 4-shure!!
