Waiting on fuel tank and decals, should be here this week along with the custom radio box. The second weekend in May is looking like a go for me and the stealth 45.

Boat looks great but if you race it its going to need a windshield decal and a name or number on the hull

Mikey, thank you, that is part of the decals my daughter is making for the yellow nuclear banana lol.

Is that paint fuel proof on its own?

 

[douglong]

Is that paint fuel proof on its own?

The manufacturer stated it is fuel proof. We will see for sure in 2 weeks

 

[Mark Anderson]

If the base isn't fuel proof. Everything will be fine until you get a scratch in the clear. Usually happens somewhere in the engine compartment. Then the whole paint job lifts.

After alot of work and a few mistakes I can say it's finally done!
Thank you to Phil Thomas for helping to get me the parts I needed. Stu Barr for the V5, pipe and header.
Alan Elzer for the props.
Speedmaster for the vortex carburetor.
Rick Bellinger for the awesome turnfin.
Technology hobbies for the fuel.
Brad Maglinger and grimracer for the support that I needed to keep going.
Thanks to my beautiful wife for installing the decals and last but not least my daughter who is my hero for what she has gone through with tongue cancer and beat it thank you for the decals you made for me.
Thanks everyone.
Doug

Jeff,
Where should the balance point be on this boat? And should it be 50/50 or so?
