77-81 ATLAS Sponson Brace placement?

[K.R.Joye]

Looking for approx location of sponson brace location. Anyone have a front 3/4 or something showing braces. I first noticed them after reviewing an old Atlas tribute video. Also looking for cockpit and instrumentation Pics for the 77-78 U-00.

Wow i guess nobody ever noticed the braces.........

Been there, they won't be on the 82 its a canard boat. But i really appreciate the offer.

Funny, I didn't notice them on PTs boat. :unsure:

The museum also has Bill Muncey's boat, but I am not sure where they keep it. Also, it is a superficial rebuild after the crash.

Your best bet is to contact Don Mock. He knows everything Atlas.

Send me your email address, I have one pic I can send you. It is of the boat running so I am not sure how good it is for placing the supports but at least you can see them.

Found a good sponson brace pic(attached), now i just need the instrument panel.

My boat will be the `81' BLUE BLASTER version, U-00 w/NACA canopy ducts

I see it had a small air dam under the leading edge too. That will really help keep your boat on the water.

Steve Gualtieri makes the proper size cowl for this hull.

Excellent quality as well

I was at the Museum on Saturday for the Roger Newton Memorial. This boat was there, outside, getting a bit weathered. It is later than the year you are looking for so doesn't have the sponson brace. But it is there if you need other measurements.

I didn't have my camera but i could be convinced to go back down if there is something you really need.

They also have the Miss U, if anyone wants to build that.
