I can't wait for the fine tuning and fairing stage!!! That's were I'm gonna excell. I'm a perfectionist or atleast try to be. Yea I can't wait to slick her up and prime her. I have a buddy of mine who's a true genius when it comes to painting and he is insisting on painting this boat. He's gonna spray the VC performance epoxy on the bottom of the boat and paint the outside the boat "fighting lady yellow". I also have a cousin in Fayetteville,North Carolina who owns a auto/marine paint store and she is basiclly gonna give me the 3 quarts of Imron for the outside the boat. The inside is gonna be rolled gelcoat in a workboat style. I saw a boat today that inside was painted at the beginning of the summer and it already looks like poop!!! So gelcoat it is.

Well I have mine closed in so time for a bracket. Just have to plug the hole from the I/O. I just picked up a 25" Zuk 200 for the battle wagon.

What kind of Bracket do you reccomend, Designwise if we make one.
Looks like mightr need a spool gun for the MIG.

I/O is nice but the water is going away up here in the Great Lakes cant use the launches with I/O any More

Let me know on your Bracket research KJ

Wow! I haven't posted on this thread in a while! I worked on the v today. Glassed last of the inner rail up forward at the bow. I plan on glassing the bow arch tomorrow and maybe glueing a screwing it in place. I also cut my recesses or access channels in my guwhale supports today which I have pictured, this is gonna allow me to run my 2 16 foot led shots from bow to stern and any other future wiring. Hope to have her done soon,it shure did feel good to work on her today.

Looks good man keep us a little more updated. Last one was before the end of the world. Glad they postponed it. Got my new DT200 ZUK

Precut cloth and let it relax and get some memory before I glassed it.

Had to get my little sidekick to help me today seeing how I can't get any of you guys to give me a hand!

All wetted out and ready to be glued and screwed and then tabbed .

Good idea on the recesses for the led's. Looking good.
