    He's doing a nice job. Like his helpers too. Not sure why the transition to the 5# boards in the front.

    I've been watching all the layup vids I can to hone the skills before I waste material. That guy has a lot of cool vids, short and to the point which I also really like. Theres one clip that shows how they make thickened cabosil bags by putting the bag into a mixing cup with the top folded down, fill, then fold up and zip. No mess

    Bet some old guy that glassed for 30+ yrs taught him that technique. Richie Sutphen showed me that way of doing stringers and bulkheads in the late 70's. I still do it thatta way...

    I checked out the video, looks like I need to give the squeeze bag a try for sure.

    I found an old coffee can worked well for me. Plenty of those laying around. I think I picked that up from a cooking show. Funny how people from different trades can end up with such similar techniques.

    Wish I had helpers like that, would've saved me a ton of time.

    So in one of the pics from the other day is a pic of a nice clean gear case I picked up. My plan is to swap all the guts from the beat up one on my motor into the good one. Before I change everything out should I go ahead and do a cone and low water pickup on the empty case? Every thing I read says unless your boat can do 80mph and up there is no benefit to the cone... Not positive but I think the boat should hit 80...

    I'd cone it and put a torque tab on it empty and do the assembly after.

    Good choice. It won't want much setback with that heavy motor. You'll want to set it up to run as flat as possible. Ventura's ain't like them "pointy things" Howard made, they trap a TON of air. The hull design is a converted tunnel hull, and it still wants to act like one a lotta times.

    Transom, what's the history on the conversion from a tunnel hull to the design that we know now? I have never heard of this and am very curious. Thanks....

    Chopper is ok but a stock one has limitations. Decent starting point but most of us end up with a dozen or more props anyway
