Well its took 6 months to build and the day to get it wet will soon be here, just a few small things to do (glassing the rudder the biggest) so I will be taking it to the pond probs next saturday for test flights....lol. Here are a few pics of boat so far, remember the rudder needs finished. Total weight minus fuel and glass on rudder..... 4lbs 5oz so completed should be sub 5lbs

Looks like an A++ build to me. The extra time it took to finish paid off. The glassing job seems to have a manufactured look. So slick. Killer boat.
