Welcome back jake! Good to see you're still building cool shit...

Coool Truck jake ! how did the Pad mod go?

Yes do tell on the pad addition adventure. I wondered if you would one day return. Welcome back. Glad you found us.

its there, still needs to be fine tuned, its a little wavy on the sides...top ive got pretty much down pat...just the sides...i need to figure out the kind of foam that resin doesnt eat...that way ill just use it as somewhat of a mold for the sides....any input? where to buy???

and, im kind of dissapointed in myself when i straightened the hook in the keel i totally for got about everything else, needless to say it wont be a 80mph boat but im ok with that...if i can hit 70 id be unreal happy, then if thats not fast enough ill find something thats built professionally to go that fast. the pad for me wasnt all about speed...the squirlyness at even 56mph with the rolled keel was just discusting....oh... and i forgot to mention awhile back i picked up a mint 24 chopper...legit..not a scratch ding or nick...i dont even want to touch the thing! traded it for my 21 laser...buddy wanted a ski prop...the 24 should be good for what im going to do with the boat

hey guys, the pad construction has kind of gone ****ty... i didnt realize when i was starting to build up the pad that it was un even and whatever so, i have thought of a new idea and i need to know what you guys are thinking on dimensions, i am thinking i am going to try to make a sort of mold with a plexiglass top so i can see what i am doing when i poor the resin in then for the sides use a semi perminant cock to hold them on in place that way level or not i can fill it to the brim and it will end up level...the plan is to build the mold on the ground before i actually flip the boat over again and begin...thoughts?

The first thing I would do is talk to Mr Tuff! Mark will point you in the right direction as to the feasibility of the whole idea!

Glad to see you're not giving up on it Jake!!
Keep us posted.
