8' Scale Custom Carolina Sportfisher
Hello
I thought I would share this build it is a 32' Custom Carolina sportfisher Scaled down to 8' all frames are cut on a CNC router I am building the hull to scale and it will look like the real hull. I will be using the Hull for a shop sign/display and maybe RC . I will add pictures as I build it. please excuse the messy garage I am building the model at home. also note in the pictures the model is setting on top of the 32' jig. hope you enjoy

8'? RC? Heck, you could ride in that at eight feet long! Especially cuz you're a runt as Doc pointed out! lol...
What kind of foam is that green stuff? I bought some green foam from a craft store and it turned out to be horrible stuff.
Anyway, this is going to be awesome! Keep posting pics!

The foam is Divinycell it comes in 48x96 sheets I paid $90.00 wholesale so if you are looking for this stuff plain on paying big $$$$. the only reason I am using it is I had two sheets setting around and it will take all kinds of abuse including CA & acetone. Thanks

I wonder what ever happened to the builder because he hasn't not posted anything on this boat in a couple of years.I wonderwhy he chose a soft foam material for the keel & chine.
