I'm not sure on a cost of one of these, It would be White gel-coat as that's what i have a abundance of! LOL
my plan was to do all boats solid white. and do a vehicle wrap on them for color, I own a sign shop/graphic shop so i have 60 inch printer and all the equipment I need, so I was going to make a template and just build a wrap package for it.
as for pricing, I'm not to sure. what are you willing to pay for it? for a price point what have people sold ones in the past? ill do a bit of searching on it. except mine will be brand new!

and shipping, it will be on a skid and boxed up, no biggy there.

This is cool... thanks very much for sharing with us.

keep us updated with photos on your progress.

no problem! ill be laying up a boat sooner then later, or finishing it rather, i have some one who needs just the bow section of my hull. i guess some one hit the bow off the boat and he wants to patch it in.
so the hull will need to be finished and out soon so i can do this" half mold."

I know a lot about those bottoms, they have quirks!
AFR on the other board can't use your bottom part, it is a totally different bottom.
You have the "pro comp ski deck"
Also, I suggest you keep those seat molds, they are known as the "triad" seat. It is very popular, comfortable and light, weight will be your enemy in that hull. As will motor height, Roark only ever built 8, most have been wrecked.

Thanks RT, Ill discuss that with him, he actually only wanted a piece where the bow D rings goes about 4 feet back. not a section of the ride pad area. ill talk to him and see whats up.

I do plan on keeping these seat molds for sure!, i just didnt really want to use them as they are quite small.
i'm not sure the seats i want to use will even work well or go with the style of boat at all!
what do you think ?

ill build seats is any one wants or needs them! but i plan on making a seat like this out of carbon fiber.
i have can get heaps of carbon fiber. for one of these seats it
to keep the weight down i'd lay it up in CF and epoxy with resin infusion on a stretchlon bagging film.

I would like a rear cowling as well... White or carbon fiber would be nice

Have them ready for Gravenhurst would be even nicer...
Let us know

carbon fiber can be done but a deposit for the half the materials would be required first. as CF is fairly expensive
Or i can build a light one out of glass with a bit less layers of matt but with a 15 oz biaxial stitch mat

let me know your serious and i can knock one out next week or the one after that

If the cowl is for a ski deck I'd be interested in one too. 8-)
