RE: The Arrow
 

Excellent, I am sure it will be a worthy competitor. Keep us updated.

Cheers

RE: The Arrow
 

Thanks Daz weighs in at 9lb4oz with rails standard cloth layup,custom glass cloth x carbon layup should be arround 8lb4oz ;).Not bad for a 58" boat i think.

RE: The Arrow
 

That is another great looking boat. You are going to be a busy man:D:D

RE: The Arrow
 

Thanks Leo,
will get it all put together tomorrow and then i can polish her up.Just test fitted a motor and pipe and everything fits perfectly and been a long opening allows good access to everything.Ill get some pics of the inside later.

Looks good Mart. Doug

RE: The Arrow
 

you need to move to this side of the pond looks like another great boat

RE: The Arrow
 

Thanks fellas,
i think you could be right there rcguy ;).
Mart

RE: The Arrow
 

rcguy, hi,
What is the implication of 'moving to the other side of the pond'. Does it mean a designer /builder can make some living there ?
Earning some money doing what you enjoy doing is something. Won't mind doing that for a change of scenery while enjoying boat designing and building and racing. LOL

Cheers.

RE: The Arrow
 

Great effort Mart - you continue to surprise me with what you come out with - certainly another worthy boat in your line up!!

Looking forward to seeing some video!

RE: The Arrow
 

Thanks Matt,think quite a few people are going to be surprised when more of these hit the water.Got an email that a customers Apache did 59 mph the other day[X(] so if my Apache hulls can do 59.5 mph im expecting much more from this one with the handling to match.Heres another one i did earlier ;).
Mart

RE: The Arrow
 

Hey bud i take thats the carbon hull you was on about,looks cool

RE: The Arrow
 

Hi Daz no this one was made to order its just glass but i used black resin for the layup for a nice look on the inside as well as out,does have that carbon look though and i bet many think it is when they see it lol.The carbon one will be something really special i hope once we sort out the details of the layout for the top as it will be a mix of coloured gel and carbon.
Mart

RE: The Arrow
 

hi
this is true the apache hit 59.5 mph and was witnessed by 6
at fleetwood boating lake all the apaches we run are hitting over the 50 mark
great hulls
gaz

RE: The Arrow
 

Looks nice with the Black Gel Mart

RE: The Arrow
 

Hi Gaz good to see you here and thanks lol.
Cheers Randy yea the black resin used worked nice,problem with using black gelcoat is when you lay the glass in the hull if you use clear resin it gives a dull grey colour effect on the inside .So as i wanted to keep it looking nice and he didnt want carbon in the hull i used black resin ,think it did the trick.It actually came out looking like carbon though haha ;).
Mart

RE: The Arrow
 

I think it looks great ....... nice work Mart ........ wish more guys would work with black ........ I'm trying to talk Ernest (MHZ) into doing a black CT03 for me - if not guess I'll try a CTO4 from Hans

Figured I'd try something for a 'keeper' this year

Have you seen Wayne news Titus run? What did you think??

RE: The Arrow
 

Hi Randy havent spoken to Wayne in months,keep meaning to email him but you know how it is.Will have to catch up with him soon though,havent seen the titus to be honest.
I dont understand why people wont work with black,if the moulds are good then its easy enough to work with,ive made 4 black hulls now plus a few with black decks and they all came out great.Id rather work with black than yellow any day,yellow is one of the worst colours to work with in my experience.

NICE,...great work Mart!
