The weight at this point

I also beefed up the bulkhead

Any aluminum that had to stay I planned on fully encapsulating. The drive shaft tube is stainless, but the mid bearing mount and scoop grate insert were aluminum so I encapsulated it all.

One thing I didn't want was any aluminum lines bonded into the carbon. Carbon + Aluminum = Corrosion. So I swapped them for Titanium. Had to grind these out.

Here's the weights:

Just finished my FVXI build. I picked these pieces up from Tony 2/8/20, so it's a better late than never build. I'm not a paint or stickers kind of guy, this layup is the closest I'll get to a "custom" finish. I don't compete , if I did, I wouldn't have built this boat the way I did. A lot of...

You can run that exhaust parallel with the floor, it’s mandatory when doing the wide tray mod.

I spoke with him , on the phone, not virtually, 3 weeks ago, ordered a carb brace, he shipped it, I got it. He’s out there , keep trying.

Didn’t see that last pic, maybe some chopped carbon, epoxy and cabosil. Build it bigger , sand it back, flip it so it’s hanging down , clear UV resin build up hanging off the corner for a finish.

I absolutely LOVE the look of that Kevlar, the strength of it , and the flexibility of Kevlar. I ABSOLUTELY HATE that Kevlar when it comes to working with it. Kevlar does not cut clean , even when it’s encapsulated in resin epoxy. It was properly applied in one of my builds in the tray area...

If the construction of that FS2 is similar to my FS1 you’re gonna need those drains. Where the bolts pass thru the sides of the hull to hold the plates for the foot hooks, on my boat at least it’s double wall with a gap between inner and outer wall and there’s just no practical way to completely...

Probably has to do with the replacement market, didn’t want to pigeonhole themselves. Easier to take metal away than put it back.

Go to US Composites site and just start reading, they gotta lot of good info on there. I like them for the one stop shopping, carbon , glass , epoxies, fillers and additives. I use their 3:1 and 2:1 635 for everything I’ve built except for final clear. I use SC110 for final , great UV...

If you’re ordering from Amazon I ordered a Seaflo pump which is an exact copy of the older Rule , so the brackets for the older rule will still work .

My humble opinion is for COSMETIC 11oz is too heavy. 5.7 oz 2x2 twill will give you the carbon cosmetic look, conform better and actually still offer some structural benefits. I’ve used gallons of US Composites resins, 3:1 is more structural, not the best choice for laminating. It has zero UV...

!?!?!

Bring in the BUN!!! Lee’s already a distributor…

How long for a Bun 1200 model for less than 25k?

My pic is a 440/550, other than screw count looks like Jetnetics construction method…..anyone actually know what it is?
