I really didn't read the entire thread, so someone might have mentioned this already... The drives in full-size boats often spin in opposite directions. Counter-rotating props on twin-powered offshore boats are extremely common, if not the norm.

OM-gosh!!! Wow. Congratulations again!

CONGRATULATIONS Rodney!! I just saw this! Baby girls are the most amazing thing. I don't know if you have any other kids (from the looks of this thread you don't) but I have a boy that's 10 and a baby girl that's 1. Boy's are great and all, but girl's are just incredible specially with their...

Pics or it didn't happen :D

I got to the point of installing the cables through the box... I gotta say, that little plastic bit meant to be used as guides and seals for the cables coming out of the box seems less than ideal. The given that it's stiff unlike a rubber boot, feeding the cables in in quite an ordeal. I'll need...

I just looked up Minwax and checked out their site. The fact of the mater is they have so many different products that we could all very well be talking about a different thing. http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/

Ok cool thanks. You said paint, but then what do you use for clearcoat? I have to stick with spray cans because I have no easy access to a proper spray gun at the moment.

@Bob G - Point taken... No PU then. @Walt - Since I'm greatly considering painting the wood hull of my VS1, I might go your route then instead of simply sealing. Plus, I'm petty sure that if I decide to paint, I'm going to find an array of pinholes after priming. I should get some glazing putty...

Can I use a Polyurethane clear spray to seal the bottom of a bare wood hull? The other thing I have is 12 minute epoxy, and I don't think I should use that. See the picture below. I'm wondering if it will be protective enough and whether or not the nitro might damage the PU coating. If it's...

So I got to the point of looking to blueprint and true the hull. I placed it over glass to make sure I had a perfectly flat surface. Looks like both sponsons are perfectly balanced to each other and there's absolutely no rocking from side to side. Not even the bit. So out of the box it looks...

Thanks for the info Greg, great to know I can start building. :)

Sad to hear. Prayers his way.

Hi guys... So most of the stuff arrived today. I feel like a kid at Christmas, just in time to build during the long weekend. :) However, I'm a little concerned about something I saw, so I wanted to run it by you all. Check out the photo of the transom on my VS1 - My question is the...

Good to see this thread. I just ordered a gallon the stuff for my new boat. (Looking forward to many more gallons). :D

So everything is ordered and on it's way! Hopefully in time for the long weekend so I can build then. I had to divide the stuff into 3 separate orders in order to ship some stuff via air. The field equipment, fuel and other crap like that is all coming ground. If I'm lucky, it'll arrive before...

An entire year with the same plug. Holy crap. Now that's economic! I'm going to have to order some of those.

Well, I'll keep all those in mind. Since the order I'm making is from Tower, I added 4 of the MC59 Tim suggested and 3 OS #8 just to try them out.

Sweet. Thanks for the update. My Tower shopping cart is just about to get processed. That's one of the last things I needed to add. -Danny

Hi guys, what glow plug would be the best to run an OS XM on a VS1 with either of the grim props, fully stock (except for one missing head shim). Oh, on mostly 30% fuel.

Hi Miguel! Yep! I'm placing the order for the remaining things I need today. Hopefully I can build come this long weekend. -D
