Ok Guys, I am in the middle of building my FE tunnel for the 2007 Tunnel Champs and need a new uncut 3.5 or 7.5 (would prefer 7.5) abs tunnel hull cowling. Its going on my FE converted Villain. My old cowl got destroyed at last years Tunnel Champs. Anybody got one?

yep, just wondering if anyone had one laying aroudn that they didnt need before I went to Dumas.... thanks, James
 
Hey James,

I have a 3.5 cowling which has been cut to suit a Villain center section. I only cut out a minimal amount off the bottom to make it fit...

It is a light layup done by Mike Hughes and has a light coat of rattle can paint on it (a sort of teal green)...

LMK and we might be able to work something out ;)

Hey Kris, I saw the pics of the cowl, the one pic that has it sitting on a hull, is the hull a villain? My question is, is the cowl cut pretty close the profile of the villain, the one in the picture seem to not be cut properly around the front of the center section? was this cowl gel-coated or just raw epoxy? any pinholes if it was raw epoxy? I will be using this on my FE vilain to attach permanently to the center section and closing it all up to be water tight. What sre you looking to get for it?

Thanks, James
 
It's cut for a Villain Center section. Although it will not fit straight onto the center section if you still have the original radio box in place. So for what you are doing, then it will work well.

I think it cost me $45, but I have cut it to suit the center. It has some minor bubbles/pin holes in the outside but they dont go all the way through. Like I said in a PM I need a good prop for the Geraghty 'sport' 8907 K&B... :D ;)

If you PM me your address I will get it out in the post for you and we can work something out later...I'm not really fussed...

Cheers

Kris
 
Kris, I have just the prop for you.... send me your address.

By the way, I also cut my radio box out of the villain, I just cut the sides and sanded it flush with the top of the deck. Now it is just a pocket where the radio box used to be, is this similar to what you did? I had to rebuild the transom area also after four years of nitro gook sitting in the area it was looking kinda bad. So I made a new transom out fo Carbon Fiber and Ply, Its seems really strong and light, will have to see how it does in the long run. Ill have to take a picture of my progress....

Ill send you a PM also, have a couple questions.

Ronald, I am going to race the FE tunnel against whoever is willing to run with it? at this point im not sure what FE classes are going to be offered, but I can still run it in the open class. We will see.
