Cutting up the sides on a square?

[The Penguin]

am I nuts for considering this?

 

[Matt_E]

What's the purpose?

What's the purpose?

:bling: :bling: i guess.......

 

[The Penguin]

just because?

 

[Matt_E]

I figured that may be the case. I am not bagging on ya, I've actually thought about the very same thing more than just once. (I got a stripped square hull in ma garage right now!)

However, I think it would be too much work to get it to look right, for little real gain.

 

[Matt_E]

If you do it, do it soon, so I can make up my mind about my hull.

 

[The Penguin]

oh sure - let me be yore guinnea pig :biggrin:

 

[Cannibal]

Do it. I really want see how it turns out. I can't imagine it would be that much work. You'd just be glassing over your foam.

Take some good pics. I have my SN stripped now to for reinforcement, round pole, hood mod, footwells, etc. What you are thinking of doing is one thing I have concidered.

 

[Rickster]

Do it...:cheer:

I have thought about doing the same, as I like the lines of the SXR or WF top deck.:woot:

 

[sflsurfrider]

make sure it is foamed before cutting

 

[RMBC Freeride]

Make the lines sharp and SQUARE! Not curvy and rounded. This was my vision dammit and now you've gone and blurred it!.... :soapbox: :cool2:












:biggrin:

my thought was to leave the original foam in place. cut the sides to shape and form a lip for the turf, then lay a layer or two of glass on the outside.

then remove the old foam, and reinforce from the inside.

RMBC put this idea in my head. I think we both agree this would be the best way to try, but I'm open to suggestions.

:biggrin:

well - I haven't ruled out the angular look yet - I'll draw that tomorrow and take a pic and post it. The angular way would be easier to turf - but I'm thinking it would be more difficult to lay it up with straight edges as it will show every imperfection.

 

[FL-cracker]

I say go for it:biggthumpup:

 

[GDFL]

Do it!! That's exactly what I'm doing to mine when I get past the hood and nose work that I'm doing right now. I had the same thoughts on leaving the foam in and doing two layers then removing foam. Get busy:Banane01: :Banane01:

i dont like the sxr look that every seems to be going for

But thats just me

 

[romack991]

CG Racing's buildoff boat was a stock 96 that he cut the sides on. You can look at it for comparison. It turned out well.

it's not that I'm going for an SXR look - I'm just aiming for something different

Well, since the cat's out of the bag... here was my suggestion:

Damm, you figured out my innovative process!!:banghead: :banghead: :arms: :arms:

about one of those sweet conversions instead!?:biggthumpup: :arms: :woot:

 

[The Penguin]

lesse - $1000 for a conversion + $1000 for hood & nosepiece...

:wink:
