Very nice Tim! Clean and defined.
You hull is a knockout!

Thanks Art, us old guys have to show 'em we still have game! When are you going to update us on your build, haven't seen anything in a while?

Here's a couple of teasers.....they were taken during the mockup stages. I'm still figuring stuff out, some of it has changed while some parts are now finalized. You'd think you could just knock this stuff out, but that ain't so, if you want any type of accuracy. Of course rigging the hull/motor for some spray didn't help the final configuration either.

Really looks good Art. As I've said before, you do great work! Did you shorten the crankshaft to get rid of the spacer behind the balancer?

It's a stock crank length snout. The Nicson timing cover almost swallows the aluminum spacer, a tad does protrudes though.

Checkout the top picture and you can see the snout sticking out of the cover with the motor plate.
