That thing water logged ?

**Baker343** · 03-25-2018, 01:36 PM

Doesn't appear to have any water retention just a solid ski layup.
Got rid of tanks, interior and carpet everywhere. Hope to see 860ish

That’s an interesting transom knee arrangement. Never seen one like that before.

You can! Think it’s called liposuction. Take a look at some videos on it. Enough to make you never want to have it done!

If con is the opposite of Pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

"Love your sig line" the correct answer is YES. :-)

My 85 Carlson 17' CVX had a box like that under the splash well that basicly worked as knees. That looks very strong and more functional than knees.

This design incorporated a ski pole and supported the rear bench seat.
Left part of the knees to mount a fuel tank.
More liposuction

Not being familiar with this hull....is there core under the now exposed areas of the floor and tunnels? Would maybe do a couple sample tests to see if not sure?

**Baker343** · 03-27-2018, 09:54 AM

This is my second Baker but first rampage. I don't believe that Jerry Baker used core in his builds. This ones appears to be just a solid ski layup that I plan on using for Enduros/Marathons

Curious, is the center pod higher up(with boat right side up) then the outside sponsons?
Looks like it is in picture #2

Center pod is about a 1/4" below the outside sponsons. Considered legal to run the Parker Enduro and the
upcoming Elisnore Grand Prix

Looks great! James sure does nice work. Excellent workmanship in that exhaust chest.

**Baker343** · 03-31-2018, 01:28 PM

Fuel tank mounting area 90% done.
3" jack plate mounted. Old clear coat really sucks.
Hope to break in the motor next Wed, test props and race it on the 7th and 8th
