Post by: Just Electric on April 29, 2014, 10:39:57 PM: Got lucky and borrowed uncle jim Brock's jig to make quick work of setting the tail kit I built. Made my kit with rats instead of a plate and after we weighed the boat I've shaved 80 lbs so far 😜

Post by: Just Electric on April 29, 2014, 10:43:30 PM: So I decided to shave more weight and end result is just short of 100 lbs now snd still a bit more to go here the base pics of the front plates I made and used a router to mill out a few parts and clearance the fuel pp and to fit a 90 on it without rotating the fuel pump

Awesome Man! Thats looking great!!

Just curious what gel you used to shoot that, Is it a single stage deal with the clear and UV stuff? Also did you just put down straight resin on the bulkhead and stringers?

Im wondering because im about at the same point on my Bahner and I was thinking about putting down a coat of resin and on the floors and stringers then doing a similar gel or paint after...

Keep up the good work!!!

I got the stuff from rev Chem in sanfernado. Got hooked up for a steal of a price thru a good friend. The gel has a clear base in it and I also added a uv and extra clear called cover all. You spray it on when the gel gets tacky and it helps with orange peel snd gives it an extra shine to boot

It was fine Hal but when jim and I reset the intake some angles changed so I have just 1/12 degrees of pin angle so no more rattle of driveline at idle and I'm not gonna say what the intake is set at 😜. Lol it basically went from a 2 degree up angle to nice and straight. Just wis I had extra coin for a jetaway but I hires in the future I will just drill four new holes and weld up the old ones of I don't end getting another boat in the future

i can but really no need to on this hull. If I were to do anything might just set it back 3 inches. I plan on getting in a winger or tunnel or a runner bottom in a few years so I'd rather blow
