Planking the deck

[Mr.freeze]

did you get a radio box with it or are you adding your own. The box that came with mine is very cramped and restricts your battery options. what kind of r's does that nova spin? should make a nice lite runner.

Well I got her all back together, hopefully I'll get a chance to head to the lake this weekend.

Alden you're welcome

Terry, it's actually not the same, the ebay hull has a flat bottom sponson with a step

T, its close but not the same. If you will notice stans has a nice clean angle from the back of the sponson to the transom,,which i like more,,..the ebay jobber has the angle aggresively tapered from the half way point to the transom..

Just my observation..

Here are a couple of videos from yesterday. Water was pretty rough with lots of boat traffic, but still managed to get some run time in. I need to go out one night this week after work when the waters smooth to get some good testing in.

Looks like a little more fine tuning is needed, though it does look good. I'd be looking at strut setting and/or adding a little nose weight to keep if glued down a little bit more. All in all, a nice job.

 

[Mr.freeze]

Thanks Hydro,

Here's a little video from yesterdays outing. The water was still rough but it was calm enough to get her dialed in. Unfortunately no video was shot of that, but I did get this wipe on camera.
