Hulls / Re: Placecraft hull

Going to check this hull out today? Hopefully it's as clean as the pictures look? Think it would be a good hull at a pretty damn good price?

I going to go look at the boat next week.. Pretty sure I can pick it up for a good price.. Just didn't know a hole lot about the hulls? I know their are like gen 1,2 and 3s? With different setbacks? I just didn't want to be the one that got the pc hull that nobody wants?

Did you add the rub rail to your boat? Seems like none of the ones I see have a rub rail?

I have a 496 in my other boat that's prob 525 550hp? It will push my bubble deck 76 mph so I would think it would do pretty good in this hull?

Just don't know a lot about them? Ride? Speed? Stability? I have had a couple of eliminator bubble decks and they seem to be a pretty ok all around boat? Not the fastest? Or not with out some big power anyway?

Guys just wondering about this hull? It's a 1983 placecraft jet, I have seen that their are quite a few variations of the placecraft tunnel hulls and was wondering if this would be a good lake boat / haul ass hull? Thanks for any input guys..

Thanks for all the help guys.. And I'm not scared of the fiberglass work! My labor is free! And the boat was a original ss hull? Don't think it was no super light layup or anything like that. But just had all of the interior redone as well? I think I would still be ahead by fixing what I have versus starting over with another hull? And I have all winter to play with it? Pretty sure I can get the hull back in shape myself? Then just be out getting the jelcoat done?

Ok here's the ugly!! I don't think it's really that bad? It did not get into the bottom of the hull? I think just more cosmetic than anything? I just want to do the repair once and have it last!!

Thanks for the help guys!!

i just wasent sure if i could get the carboard or plastic to follow the slight kind of roll in the top of the boat? just didnt want to wind up with flat spot on the top of the boat? thats why i was thinking of trying to use the other side to make a mold to build the repair pice out of? its a 18 foot elimantor bubble deck boat and i have about a 10 or 12" x 18" spot im going to have to repair?

yeah i know its not going to be dead on? but i would think it would be a lot closer than me trying to build it back up to match it? as far as the slight contour in the top of the boat and the raised ridge that runs around the outside edge of the boat.. just didnt know about doing glass work on top of the other side of the boat? once i got the plug made i could sand it to get it smooth before i layed the glass in for the repair pice?

has anyone ever tried to use one side of their boat to make a repair mold for the other side?? this weekend my steering cable boroke and i put my boat up on the bank and hit a tree.. put a pretty nasty hole in the deck of the boat and the side?? did not get into the bottom of the boat or the nose of the boat, was just wondering why i couldnt use the other side of the boat to make a plug so i could fiberglass the repair section? just wasent sure of trying to do this on top of my jelcoat? didnt know if i could just wax the hell out of it and be okay or is their was some kind of relase agent i could put on it? again just talking out my a@@,but seems like a good idea when i pretty much have a mirror image on the other side of the boat instead of trying to rebuild it from scratch??

thanks for any input guys!!

ok guys excuse all the questions here just trying not to mess anything up if i dont have to? the top lip on my level in the pic is just about an 1/8 inch thick. so if i mark the loader with a sharpie and cut it even with the mark on the level it should put me about an 1/8 below the keel? witch should give me a good starting point? does this sound about right? then i could start making small cuts from their.

thanks
jason
