Heres how I did mine, theres just an aluminum rod thats epoxied into the nose of the hull, with two 1/4" round neodynamium magnets also epoxied into the hull on each side, flush with the surface. Then the cowling has the same two magnets, flanking an aluminum tube that slides over the rod thats...

oh my gosh..... even "flush rivets" too?? haha, Im sort of a Howard Hughs/Scorcese/DiCaprio fan. Im such an impatient person for this hobby, I cant imagine doing something like that!!

Dang, no wonder, the surface quality of his hulls looks amazing, very crisp and defined lines and edges, really like that.... I cant imagine how much sanding, labor, and constant checking and rechecking that saves you when it comes time to prep for primer and paint..... im staring at my CF hull...

Friggin awesome! So you decided to scrap the plans for the LLumar ? Man does Doug vacuum bag his hulls?? and yeah the darn rotating pictures is starting to frustrate the heck out of me. Even more bizarre and annoying, the same thing happens on OSE!

Lol actually the only one im not sure is the Formula and Bud pic, the 96 Joes is Dons as well, ive looked through his gallery for that particular build numerous times, and its funny too because I wasn't even a fan of that hull initially, I couldn't stand the box cowling at first and I was so...

Isn't a gentleman by the name Brian... Baus or someone of the likes (my apologies on the spelling sir) the individual who was producing them? Do you know if the 80 Atlas or Pak can be done with a Velasco hull?

Hello, I was hoping to have some light shed on this subject, as im particularly picky about this portion of the build and to me, its EXTREMELY distracting to me when I feel like a scale boats windshield is not aesthetically correct or scale accurate (I suppose those two arent always synonymous)...

I just had a couple questions regarding a few hulls and how they relate/work with the Henry Velasco hulls I see alot. Could anyone provide a list of some sort of the boats that this hull makes generally, perhaps mostly in regards to potential cowling options? My apologies if this is rather a...

CORRECTION: Silly me, my last post was way off base, forgot I was going a little unorthodox with this builds shaft setup. The shaft log that I glassed in is in fact a 3/8" brass tube, as I will instead be using an 11/32" sized tube for my actual stuffing tube. This is because I wanted to give...

could you sell me the mount please? I can pay for shipping and fees

Oh I probably should have mentioned, I havn't actually installed the stuffing tube and shaft yet other than a test fit. Thats actually a 11/32" tube thats only about 3 inches at the most, its an anchor for the actual 5/16" tube that will run all the way to the strut. I was told by some to do it...

hey guys, have an update for this build if anyone is still interested would love some feedback and constructive criticism! Ive gotten the motor mount glassed into place and driveline setup nearly squared away, I just need to figure out exactly what kind of strut ill be using. Ive actually...

are you willing to part any of the stuff out?

Probably know after having some older molds bow in the corners, thus rendering them impossible to releasing cured parts.... haha

bill did u ever sell this

ah, Sorry about that Joey! been meaning to get back to you, having trouble with my cell right now so ill probably give you a call from my work phone tomorrow. Heres a few pictures of the boat currently, im really happy with the shape of the deck and drop down now, much more resemblance to the...

Got enough content for an actual update now, yay I also finished the reshaping of the port side non trip I discussed in the last post, im pretty happy with how it looks now, and overall the dropdown on the sponson from the front of the boat and all the way to the back looks alot more like the...

Well, I feel like if we were to be 100% strictest in the rhetorical sense, we say "scale" as in its literally supposed to be the real boat "scaled down" to ....... in this case, 1/8th of the real thing. Now like you said, everyone is going to have a preference of how far in either direction...

man something that happened today that is a perfect example of your last word there..... Ive had extra time off of work this week and ive been scrambling trying to get as much work done on the boat(s) as possible, while trying to simultaneously decide what may be best for a certain aspect of...

Terry its great and refreshing to see that you have enough intellectuality to go with your experience in that you can be considerate enough of both sides. But I must say, OSE, imo, isn't a demographic that engages in the banter you describe. I feel as though it can become very easy over time...
