There's a BIG rivalry going on this weekend, the U of M - OSU game. Scalpers are getting up to $2,000.00 for a ticket to the game!
I was thinknig of wearing my Western Michigan University hat to the Toledo show as the University of Toledo plays their games inside the Seagate Center and these teams are rivals also but I didn't want ot get my butt kicked there! I wore my RCU hat instead but still worried about a butt-kicking.
WW, I think that I have a picture of you with your teeth in!

I just saw on another site where the Whiplash 20 was converted to an electric and was the first non-outrigger hydro to break the 100 MPH barrier! That has to say something for its stability.

Looking good so far.

misshydro

One or two questions?Why did you stain it?Your not going too see it plus now the wood glue wont stick well to it now for the skins.

wave waker

coz i'm not sure when i can paint it coz i do no how, some part of the frame is still visible when it's done, check out the first pic i posted the wood looks so pale..and just making sure the it's double sealing, for the finale sealing i'll use the epoxy...no probs with glue sticking though.

wave waker

ok, been awhile this project hibernate,,,now the show must go on,at last got all the stuff to complete,,,here's the update,,, engine mounted, prop strut and rudder mounted, time to skin the baby

wave waker

update as of tody, nose, bottom skin installed and first coating epoxy sealing, workin towards the sponson skin, kinda tricky coz of curves..

Raylon

wave waker: It looks to pretty with all that coating on it to be a boat...I would have just made the frame and put it on my coffee table as a conversation peice! Good work!

wave waker

just done the port deck and bout to glue the front half of starboard sponson then trimming the cowling,,hmmp! bout 75% done.

here's the updated pics..

crazy maxx

Sean Bowf

Did you put foam in the front sponsons?? Looks like I can see a tube running into the sponson area...are the fuel tanks in there, or is that an engine cooling tube?

Sean

wave waker

yup got foam coated with Mas epoxy inside the sponson,,,

i put a slimline fueler and that's the tubing comin' out.

it's trimming time, sanding and sealing.

misshydro

About time you get that boat project back going on!!!!
