ML Boatworks GSX470

[Chris Migliaccio]

I bought an ML Boatworks GSX470, and had a chance to do a quick test fit assembly of the kit, and then disassembled it, Mike makes a high quality kit! I started gathering parts for the build. The mailman delivered my CP Mods 29.5 engine over the Christmas break. I picked up some West systems 206 and 207 hardener for the build. I am getting a list ready of the parts I’ll need for the build, and gonna start to order. Once I get the parts gathered up, I’ll start a build thread. The posts maybe a little slow.

We are still looking, I’m working in Texas right now, so I’m kinda gathering parts. Then I’ll have everything to complete, once I start it. Got the important part out of the way, the cpp mods 29.5, can’t wait to run it.

Good luck with the build! Looking forward to your posts!

I was back in Florida for a few days, and I decided to work on my GSX470. I got the framing done of the sponsons, and framed up the hull. I wanted to assemble using G-Flex 650 epoxy, but it was not available at the West Marine locations near me in Florida. I bought some of the West Systems G-Flex 655-8 thickened epoxy for the build. Everything went together nice, and with some clamping and sanding, all is square and straight. I will be leaving for another 6 weeks, for work, and will continue once I get back to Florida.

Well I finished up my route in Iowa and was able to get some more work completed on the GSX470, I got it cleared and started to do final assembly. I will post more as I have time to work on it on the weekends.
