That's a first for me. 5200!? Guess it will work
I didnt think it was 5200. It was a 2 part epoxy in a tube that had a very strong smell.

Nice. You going to lay any glass over those motor mount inserts? Tony usually does.
Didnt even think about that but sounds like it wouldnt be a bad idea.
Would you just go on the sides of the inserts or actually over top of them?

Over the top of both, in a rectangle shape, ideally vaccum bagged or infused.
I keep forgetting to update this thread but laid glass over the motor mount inserts, got my foot holds installed, pump and midshaft are installed and just test fit my engine and gas tank. Sill have a few big things left to do like turfing and installing the pole and pole bracket but ran into an issue with the pole bracket I have. The bracket I have is about 1/4"-1/2" to wide and wont fit. I cant remember what brand it is but I know it isn't KP, RRP, or Xscream. Anyone know if either of those brands would work or do I need to remove some material from the hull?

Get a bracket from Tony.
If you look on post 14 I think. You can see them but might need to zoom in a bit. Otherwise I don't have a pic.

Tony makes a nice poles and pole brackets. That's what is on my FV.
Are those the Aura ones? From looking at tiger crafts website, I was thinking that one would work best.
Still waiting to hear back from Tony.

a little late now but I would have suggested using a lot of whatever the bond the 2 halves together.
I cant count how many times I've seen garbage hull builders get cheap on glue and the hull leaks like hell along the bond line.

Hopefully that wont happen. I tried to go around it and double check that there were no holes or that i missed a place with glue. Also put some fiber glass over the bond line on the inside and flipped the hull over and filled any air pockets in the rail after they were trimmed.

Every FV I've been around included mine has aura pole bracket, fits great..
Good to know. Wanted to make sure that would work before I ordered one. Thanks.
Keep forgetting to update this but I got it finished enough to drop it in the water last weekend. Still have a few things to finish like turfing the rails and putting decals on but those can wait. Only got to ride it for a little bit because it still needs to be tuned but so far liking it more then my chan.
