I work on on my own doing boats,molds and special projects.

Same here , i will be starting a series of gas tanks on Skater's next week and i just went up north here in Mich to play in the snow for a week and ...................... WOW has this thread grown :26:

 

[Offshore Ginger]

I agree and I think that there should be a new section added for this kind of stuff along with restoreations. I think there are alot of people missing this because of where it is. I have put the question up to the Board about haveing a special section for this kinda info (personally I think its needed) What do you guys think? And agian thanks guys this is a GREAT thread.

I agree this thread should be moved to Glassdaves fiberglass section , for the pure fact that is why it was started and talk about some OLD and i mean OLD glass guys on this thread ........ he he he he

I looked quick at a pic on your website and thought it was cflex...talking to Cosker about boats one day and thought his first Mystic was this system.

Anyway, your tooling is really slick...all of those curves are not simple to mold.

How is the business in the US compared to overseas?

On a side note, I thought Peter was sent a check to "pay" for a boat splashed overseas?

Note: Randy took care of that almost in the same way he started M T I .

Steve,

Any pics of the 10M you left there?

 

[Offshore Ginger]

Kinda nice having Lewis, Merritt, and National Marine Suppliers just down the street. Throw in some engine builders too.

Can you share any info or pics of the military boats?

I have to say that the early years over there were awsome and to think that Sterling was shipping #10 or more engines at a crack and Merc with with #6 drives and not to mention the boat loads of materials going to Dubi that Pete assisted in in helping them get, along with his knowledge of boat building .

Has anyone here heard of Trident boats out West? He uses resin infusion, and corecell I believe, which I think has been discussed here.

He seems to have done a lot of homework on his hull design and construction. Any comments on it? He used to post a lot on Hotboat and seemed pretty knowledgable and a good guy.

Just read all his stuff. Sounds good, 94 with a single 550 Illmor is real sweet. Check with IllmorDude and see if he's driven/ridden in it.

Boats look nice but it seems the west coast guys like to stick a lot of things on the bottom. A well-designed Cat is hard to beat remember everything you drag through the water has a penalty attached. Infusion is a good way to go for production and the Core Cell is a must, now a real race boat Bagged Baked Prepreg is the only way to go.

Yeah, I don't get the impression the boat would work as well if increased in scale for big water. I think it's mostly designed for lake's like Havasu, etc, as most of those boats with a training wheel are. However, he is a big proponent that you don't need heavy for big waves, just a good design and strong hull.

I'd really like to see some pics of the military version as it is meant for bigger water, and I've read him saying it has gotten some great feedback?

I don't think you can argue with the efficiency guys are getting with a center pod design. I think the two fastest boats out there for the power (in a smaller single) are the Trident and the RPM 26, both of which were designed from a clean sheet and have a pod. But as 26/28's they aren't meant for the type of use a real deep tunnel would be.

And us young dumb kids are loving every minute of it. I'm lucky to be involved in a couple cool projects...and then there's the racing...Still can't believe I will have been working on the raceboats for four years now.

So keep the experience and the stories coming...It's the best way for us to learn.
