    Who knew this reducer would eat through a plastic cup?! Boy did I make a mess. A full cup of paint went all over the place. Switched it up to a metal coffee can.

    Sprayed a couple layers of gel down, then a final layer with the wax additive. Time to let it cure for a couple days, sand smooth, then spray the final layer with the Duratec additive.

    Negative - 100% all original. I pulled out a piece of paper, drew a couple hundred different variations, and tried to make it as simple as I could. I could forward you the basic dimensions I came up with for the final build - Just plywood, and some simple geometry / trigonometry. Then I came to this forum, and got torn apart (obviously I'm not a boat designer haha) and got a ton of help from folks here on what I should and shouldn't do.

    indeed the people here can be quite critical . the negativity can be over done but its a community with many bright stars. I personally have seen many race boats with duct tape repairs .

    Did you ever complete it? If so how did it run? The work looks great.

    No, but i'm Starting to pick it up again this fall. I just completed my restoration of an old bayliner 14' little thing this past winter.
    This was the rebuild of the bayliner:

    Finally got the bottom finished up and flipped onto the trailer. Holy cow it fits on the trailer, my measurements were right!!! Looks smaller every time i play with it. Would love to put one of those new 115 Pro XS racing motors on it. Stinks they're $10k... Before all the rigging lol.
    Heres a silly pic of my bayliner's Force 90hp by the back just as a teaser

    Haven't had a smart phone in a few months... so just a quick update. Cut some holes, trim on edges getting ready for the decking. Need to sand, glass, and paint the inside next. Windshield and dashboard too.
    Things to think about... size and placement of gas tank. I'd like a plastic fuel cell but wouldn't be opposed to duals. Also battery placement, and where the rigging will come out to the motor.
    a lot of flex/twist has come out just from installing the edging that the deck will screw to. Also the pieces coming from cockpit port/starboard floor to the hull bottom. It will be very stiff once the dash and decking is all done.

    Some things to consider for weight placement and center of gravity.
    Came across this a few months ago searching for information about CG. Some of this doesn't apply to my application ( V-Pad ), but should be a good read for some ideas. If you haven't stumbled across it yourself.

    Here are a couple of articles that discuss Static CG, Weight & Weight Distribution and Dynamic Stability as applies equally to tunnel hulls AND vee/vee-pad hulls.
