Thanks, next episode will be more in the shop and hopefully less of me in front of the camera :D
I'd say I admire those Porsches, definitely out of my price range!

Episode 5 is coming up. The new transom is in, stringers glassed in. We are moving along. Sorry for the delay. Crazy busy lately with projects and life in general!!
Quick shot of the stringers.

And Episode 5 is up, the transom, and stringers are in.In this episode we move things to the shop, where we look at the transom and stringer install. We talk about how the stringers were formed to fit perfectly to the hull, bonded in place, and we used 2408 fiberglass to glass everything in. The resin used is a proprietary resin Mark at Rage Powerboats likes to use. We also discuss the fuel tank plans and putting in the reinforcing tabs.

Thanks. What size tank will be used?
70? standard in this style boat was 55-60
Some Activators had 64 gallon tanks, some seemed to have 70. Too big either way.

I think 50 gallons is plenty, I'll be pretty light on the throttle. I'm getting too old for top speed runs. :cheers:
I think that new Mercury four stroke V6, and the G2 are really efficient anyway.
Missed this part for the video, I was out of town and Mark was forging ahead.
