Been awhile, but back on the RN build. Progress is progress right? Only have 30,000 more hours of sanding.

I think it will flip. I have a php 4 mil going in with a 148 pump. I think hull is going to be around 135 all said and done. I will keep you posted

I haven’t weighed yet after all the glass work but she’s heavy but solid.

Made some more progress on the tray. Some may love it and some may hate it. Its not exactly a "wide" tray but I like the feel when I kick in.

It's been a minute but I'm back working on the ski. Hope to have the foam and tray finished up in the next week or so.

Been grinding these past couple weeks. Lots of progress but still ways to go. I ran into an issue with the PFP chamber hitting the sidewall. Instead of having the manifold shaved, I decided to make its own indent into the hull an build it into the tubbie. The rocker is fully on and reinforced...

Ended off the day by doing final fitment of Carter's rocker and by mocking up the tubbies. Also filled one bond line with thickened epoxy. Will do the next bond line hopefully tomorrow.

Got a lot done this past week/weekend. Shaped the new pole bracket area. Pretty happy with how it has come to form. Still have some low spots but good enough for now until I get deep into the finishing touches The hull weighted in around 75lbs. (the hoist is 10lbs.)

So I was not happy with how I layed the first two layers of glass in my previous post. Way too many air pockets if you look closely. I know this area needs to be strong and it was bothering me so I decided to grind it all out and lay new glass. These pics show 4 layers of 1208 biax to...

On the other hand, my PHP 800 Power Mouse and Zeel setup came in. Can't say enough good things about Zach and his attention to detail.

Not much done but some reinforcement
