    Wow RJ thanks for posting and Tony man your suggestion and my careful reading of you guys build threads is why I did the extra core up front. I also ran two layers of 1708 on the hull under the core in that area because this hull im working on was beat up badly in that area and I wanted it beefier. I think I may just double up the 1708/1808 across the top of the entire core as well. I know the wakeboard wake fear is real I have hit those things rolling off in the middle of nowhere so hard to see in the wrong conditions where its "calm" and there is no light to contrast and they have that hard lip no break almost seamless waves with sharp lips and WHAM!!! I've nailed a few and it hurts for sure!

    I got swamped a few times in my vandal its not a big water hull at all you have to go over wakes slowly and diagonally. BEWARE of these types of hulls..., they are the new lake demon waker makers.

    too bad that photo bucket did what they did or there would be way more pics on this site! We lost a lot of visual content because of those clowns.

    Yep for sure PB messed up a lot of great threads on a ton of forums. Well, it doesn't much look like anything fancy but theres 3 layers of CSM and 25 layers of 1708/1808 in the bow eye now. I'm going to patch up the outside and drill this and hope to end up over 1/2" thick and skip the wood entirely.

    We got a new plan for the second layer over the core. The hull was ground quite a bit before I got it so I was planning to skin the entire inside with 1708 anyways so now the plan is to lay the 50"w pieces of 1708 from side to side in one piece over the core. From lip to lip from one side to the other. This way we reinforce the core support and the hull skin in one go. Plus we have the method down now for big lays without kicking resin. Refrigerating the resin for 6 hours prior and catalyzing closer to 1% with the whiz rollers is the ticket for us. It doesnt look like we will get any more glass laid in for a few weeks at least as there is a lot of life going on right now but we have a plan and Im amped to get back to this

    Thank Tony he was the one who suggested it I didn’t know squat when I started this process I just did what you guys had done and suggested haha. Good to see you got that repair done so fast though, wish we were working on this thing now but it’s going to be a little bit yet.

    ive been starting to sort out the powerhead i decided to rebuild the 200efi to start with. I want to raise the rpm limiter and maybe reflash the computer but I don’t know where to start with that. A tuning software would be nice

    Back at this today. Test fit the cap back on and what a feel good moment to see the lines again. We stared for a good ten minutes at it and both said it just somehow looks 10x more solid than before. We did some lip repair to the hull no pics of that and tomorrow we are going to grind down the transom a little to fit the cap better, sand the hull over the core glass and then we are onto the final hull glass and transom glassing. Then stringers, drain tube, and floor. Feels great to be back at this

    Pretty good feeling setting the deck back down, even if you have to take it off agin. It's looking good, glad to see progress on the hull!

    Barely got going today and work came up so had to bail. We did get the transom fit to the cap nicely and the cap back off the hull ready for glass and that was it. We are focused and determined to get a LOT more done soon.

    We sanded, all damn day. I tell ya this much i wont be using ANY 1808 anywhere i have to sand it. Now that the resin is fully cured its all but impossible to sand it smooth. Its reassuring to realize its strength but it was not fun at all to prep for more. Secondary bonding without sanding on the Derakane is 7-10 days, wish I hadn't gone past that. Cooked a day sanding but its done now, all good.

    Ready to lay glass tomorrow, relaxing the first sheet tonight, resin in the fridge

    THIS IS WHY I JUST BUST OUT THE GRINDER!!! You said it, nothing sucks more than trying to sand this stuff after a week or two after it cures. I just roll it out in the driveway, powder up with baby powder, and go to town with the grinder. Sucks ass but its the fastest way to get it done as you do not care much about it being nice and smooth when putting more over it again!

    Got that piece of glass laid in today and work came up again so that was as far as we got. We could have glassed the entire hull today we have the speed of pour and roll down well now. We left excess over the edge to trim after curing
