more pics engine mounts all made going to need to make atrip to the model shop to get some more bits befor i can do much more now

da mad maori

nice stuff...are those engine mounts off a car radiator or thermal fan motor mounts....... i see your boat is at a car wrecking yard

when is the deck going on????

thats exacally the same engine as my stuffed Talon.... so if ya need parts let me know just pay for shipping (not much i would imagine)

bentley marshall

yeah the mounts are off a car good spoting !! check out [link=http://www.bentleysautospares.co.nz]bentleys[/link] ....they are air box (air cleaner) mounts off a mid to late 90s mitsi lancer or mirage but most late model cars have for mountint differnt things they should do the job ok...
the top deck will go on in the next few days cut it out today and put some flotation in the front just got to put a coat of resin in there and under side of deck to water proof it then glue it all on ...
i wanted to get the motor mounted befor i put the deck on
i have got heeps of spaers for the engine and the local mower shop have a big box full too all the same so parts wont be a prob ....

jonnygofast15

thank you so much man!

jonnygofast15

hey umm what are those pieces that are attached to hold the deck up did u jus fit those to size or did you get them (plans for those peices) from some one? should i use a clutch if i have a 25-35cc weedie?

bentley marshall

the top deck on the plans is just flat but ive changed it a bit to give it a bit of shape i have allso made the sides and rear of boat higher
weather you use a clutch or not is up to you .....im using one on my boat

bentley

jonnygofast15

would ya say this is about a thirtycc it came from a big homelite leaf blower

jonnygofast15

is that epoxy or fiberglass resin on bottom of the inside of ur boat. do u use bondo or icing on outside of ur hull right there
(that bentlys pic erbody)

bentley marshall

Hi i fiber glassed all the bottom and side joins on the inside .... that grey patch it body fuller called newtech is reinforced with fiberglass strand and used on car panels etc ..... the hull moved a bit when glassing the inside so needed to reshape it a bit..

bentley marshall

plans on there way steve

jonnygofast15

would bondo work its body filler too umm my hull moved while epoxy was dryin a clamp came loose when it was almost dry to dry to stik back together so i moved it in more and glued it in place could i reshape with "bondo" name brand body filler and to what ratio liquid hardener to resin do u mix ur fiberglass? thanks-jon

bentley marshall

for your fiber glass read the instructiond on the bottles biffernt brands have differnt mix yeah bondo can be used for shaping if needed

hi guys just a tip for next time you build one of these, use zip ties to hold the hull to shape at the stem you just drill holes through both curved edges of the hull and insert small zip ties then pull them tight and epoxy the two pieces together.a little tip i was given by w3bby heres a pic of what i mean the zip ties are then cut off when everything is set and nothing moves this way then fill the holes and seal the outside of the hull with epoxy as normal.you wont need to use any filler to shape it then as it will be the corrct shape to begin with.another thing ive noticed on your boat you didnt over lap the sides below the hull? you need to do this to create chines this aides with keeping the boat upright and also with turning i left it over hanging 1/8 then filled the over hang and shaped it like a concave to create a chine .you will find your boat will need them also!!just thought id point this out ,you can still add some chines by gluing some strips on!!.what the chines do is when you turn and the boat leans the chines make the boat want to right itself and stop it from over turning and flipping upside down which may be a big problem for you at speed ,so id get some added if i were you especially with such a heavy motor!!.[img][/img]the first two pics are of w3bbys boat hope ya dont mind mate the yellow banana is my boat 38 inches long with 11 cc plane engine.not surface drive you,ll be surprised to hear but she still runs at 30 mph so shes ok for a bit of fun.

bentley marshall

thanks martno1fan for that info will add some chines to mine ...did you put the ribs the lenth of the boat not sure what they are called helps with turning allso ????

martno1fan

hi im not sure what you mean by ribs?,my hull and most of these hulls from these plans are just as you see a deep v no strakes underneath but chines on all.a tip for the chines you could get a square strip of balsa or spruce and glue it on and sand it so you end up with it angled down towards the hull so the edge on the outside is nice and sharp if you understand what i mean? ill try and find a pic of what i mean they also deflect the water downwards at the sides and this downward pressure helps keep the boat running better i hope im making myself clear here but thats the best i can do to describe it im sure others will have better ways to describe it lol.by the way this is w3bbys boat he sent me these pics ages ago im sure he wont mind!! but they are clearer than any i have.

jonnygofast15

i also use zip ties that really helps but i only use like 6 from front to back.

bassproguy07

Bentley, I'd like those plans if possible e-mail is [email protected] Id really appreciate it.

bentley marshall
