I feel ya on that. Sometimes the painting process just goes on and on and just when you think it’s done, you get runs, crinkles, orange peel, whatever… I had a couple runs recently on a paint job. I’ll deal with them at some point but I just couldn’t do it anymore right now. It looks really...

Another amazing build Mario! Fast AND beautiful! Well done!

Personally no I try not to look at it at all while I’m running. It puts a peak mph up there that I use to get a general idea of whether any changes I made to the boat made a difference in speed. I look at that after the run. I agree there are other ways to do it and they work fine, but I...

Plus, with the 7PXR, you can set the radio to “shout out” mph, etc… It’s not all that easy to hear you have to make an effort to put your ear down by it. And yes it does log data. I have mine set to toggle logging on and off with a button just depending on the situation at hand. You need a...

That’s great! In my experience, even the top shelf clears have trouble standing up to nitro for that long.

Thanks!

I’ll do that eventually For sure but for now Im gonna re-rig it and run it. I can’t spend any more time on this one boat right now. A couple more pics with the vent covers and driver in.

Well it’s not perfect. I had too much paint flow dialed in on the gun which was ok for flat surfaces but I got some runs on the black trimmed sides that run between the tops of the sponsons and the main decks. I also got a run right at the very front, also in a black trim spot. I will...

Ok thanks I’ll give that a whirl…

Sounds like a pretty good plan. How long do you let your coats flash off? 10 min?

Thanks! have put some larger pieces of cardboard aside to test out the gun. I know you are looking for more of an elliptical pattern vs round, more football shaped. And I believe you get there by opening the fan control more. I’m going to use a 1.3 tip. I also know I need to clean the gun...

It’s Boatletteringtoyou.com. Honestly they aren’t cheap but I was able to design something I could work with and it was easy and fast. There are people like Wes Ellet, Carl Brockman with Brockman Signs, and others who do really nice stuff for like scale boats and stuff for not much more. I’ve...

What are you looking for?

I can help to an extent. I haven’t looked into doing two colors yet, so mine are all one. The deck graphics I got from an online boat graphic place where you design your own using their tool and then order. On the graphics I’ve been doing, yeah, they turn out ok. I have to fight the machine...

Keeping up with the theme of the boat, I cut out the remaining graphics and applied. Boat is ready for clear coat.

A bit more progress. I’ve been fighting the flu (Influenza A) since last Tuesday but starting to feel much better. I’ve chipped away with bits and pieces when I’ve felt up to it and have the boat about ready for clear. I have a few more graphics to cut and apply and then it will be ready.

Cool! Dave makes some nice parts!

If you go with the Blazer boat, here’s my build thread I did a couple years ago: Thread 'Blazer Lauterbach Build Thread' https://www.intlwaters.com/threads/blazer-lauterbach-build-thread.82150/

Yeah I think my color is Rustoleum 2x Oasis Blue. By nice and thin are you talking about the boom collars? Here’s another pic with a better perspective. I got them from Dave Roach, he machines them out of Delrin.

Here’s a pic of mine with Dave’s collars on.
