Default RE: 4th boat build. Mini-Kaze Stepboat

I have a little work to do on the nose to get the right shape and contour - The plywood doesnt like compound bends, so I'm hoping to get the bow rounded just right so the plywood will lay flat and not require a "Y" cut like the big kami did. I have a backup plan if needed. First pic is a better side-by-side to the original .60/.90 sized Kami.


This is the bottom of the frame. The whole frame weighs roughly 8-10oz. Maybe less.


I have the prop line set up to be exactly 1/3 total length measured from the transom. So far, the frame balances almost perfectly on the prop line. That really surprised me.
