Birth of a Race Boat

That is why the bulkheads are so tall, that is where the Solar Panels will be mounted.

All joking aside, the info and some photos on the motors will be released soon.

In the mean time, some fine tuning on the bottom and some more bulkhead install

But it was really entertaining!!!! :26:

 

[DAREDEVIL]

wouldn't it more cost effective to build the bulkheads to size in the first place ?? mmhh

Yes and no, the size was yet to be determined at the time of bulkhead install, and you want them to be larger than necessary to allow for trimming and a tight fit, however in this case they are much larger than required.

After cutting it down,,,whats the length now ?? 40 ?? out of a 42 mold ??

Com'on,,,,its QUEST RACING !!!!!!! that builds your engines !!!!!!

LET IT OUT AND GET SOME PICS OF THESE BAD A$$ MOTORS :sifone:

 

[Geronimo36]

Nothing has been confirmed from Animoal House about what/which engines yet, it's possible they don't even know!

Let them do their thing in building boats and let the engine builder(s) do their thing and get what "they" need to get done.

I'm sure we'll all know in due time!

 

[animalhouse]

Keep your pants on, it will all come out in due time.

Random question in general-

Wouldn't recessing the deck just a little to the hull provide more strength? If it makes sense; I'm thinking some thing even though both require tremendous force, it would be easier to kick a door that swings in open from the outside than kick it from the inside out even without hinges on it.

Some carbon/foam/epoxy boats don't even have stringers.

Leaves plenty of room for the BALLAST TANKS...

When bonded together it becomes one..so instead of a door and frame, you would have a solid unit.
