That is so cool.!please post some pictures. I really like my own stuff. I can build and run what ever I want. if you wait for kits it could take a long time. All the best Craig

Are you going to glass over the foam then try to dig it out or are you now going to make this the plug and do a mold? looks interesting anyhow.
Keep up the work, you are getting there.

Hi Mick
I will remove the foam in the aft section after I glass it up. the rest will be built in flotation. the foam only goes half way in. it would make a good plug) but no money, never enough time. and Copyrights![:@] thanks for the comments! it is going to be a very cool boat. picture it running 60-70 mph Craig

Hi again!! Looking great! Youve inspired me to make my own. I've designed a mystic themed mono different from yours but I'd like to know the diameter of the rib structure please. Is it 1/8"? And what kind of wood are you sheeting it with? Diameter of that too? Looks great! Almost there!

Hi F15
I buy my plywood at lowes. I get a 4X8 sheet for 15 dollars. the ply is like 8.5mm thick. pretty close to 3/16. the wood on the bottom is 1/8 inch ply. looking forward to seeing your build. scratch building is very rewarding. Craig
