Tecno and others?
Ok guys I've admitted that I'm new to the boating scene
tho not new to the speed arena. I've build two relatively fast hot rods but this fast boat thing is a little new. Anyway, to the point, I've got the boat upside down in the shop and have started the shanding and finishing of the bottom, Thanks Techno (and others) for the tips on what to use. I settled on West System's 105 epoxy resin and 206 hardner and 3M Marine glass filler for those pesky scratches. I saw a photo or two of what looked like the addition of an additional strip (almost 2X4) glassed down the center of the hull with the comment about the sharp edges and "blueprinting" Am I right and should I do this? I assume it's an aid in the cornering aspect of this relatively flat bottom Baja. I also assume that I would want to use spruce as opposed to pine does any of this make sense or should I have done the 32 Ford my 7 year old wanted me to do?
