Looking great !

Thanks! Started working on the bottom, slow process haven't had a lot of time to get much done but looks better already. Basically just sharpend up the back started leveling the pad and sharpening it. It's definitely a time consuming part, luckily the Adtec dries quick but lots of filling g sanding filling and sanding. But hopefully worth it in the end.

Thanks!, I put a video together of the progress to this point for people outside of this fourm.

Got a few mins today to spare so I repaired some of what appears to be trailer impact damage on the bottom. What's your opinions on sharpening up the keel a little bit where it starts to "Vee" up to the bow? Any reason to or not to? Aside from making it to Sharp and making it easy to chip off will it help cut through the waves better or is that sharp enough and not really matter.I mean I figured I'd ask since it's already flipped over and I'm working on it.

"Sharp" is the key. Makes a 'huge' difference.

You won't be running on the keel. Make sure the pad is true and the trailing edges are very sharp. A sharp keel also allows the bow to drop further and could provoke a worse case hook if were to drop off the pad at speed.

I have a guy that really wants one of formula motors that you have. If you have any interest in selling it to go bigger please let me know.

What kind of drain plug are you going to use to fill that huge hole in the back????

**TwzteD** · 10-28-2018, 12:37 PM

I might look ok big but it's just a normal 1" plug..

This thing is incredible, looks like it will be a blast when finished! You're doing great work. Good motivation for me and my Hydrostream project this winter. Thanks for taking the time to document all of it. Lots of good advice in this thread.
