Yeah the idea is to get this thing in the water on my tight budget but I have had 8 boats and never finished in the budget or the timeline. Anyone know where I can find some front pins for the trs dives. The ones that hold the trim rams. The one's on it had washers welded to one side and a hole drilled on the other side with a bent nail holding them in.

I know the subject about kevlar has been beaten to death but did wellcraft ever make the hawk in kevlar? I thought they were all glass? Mine appears to be kevlar lower hull with a glass upper? What kind of speed should I be hoping for? I should have around 500hp at the cranks and I have trs drives with so 20 x 15 four blade props my title says 8000lbs

I will post a pic of it when I get home. So does anyone know it wellcraft used kevlar in the hawk? Mine is a gold colored woven mesh on the hull and sounds like a drum when you hit it but the top cap is fiberglass I believe.

Haha I hear you. Really I bought this boat as an "investment" if my math is right I can put a million hours labor and all of my money I have and will have for the next 2 years and then sell it for what I paid for it when I bought it lol but if Craigslist is right it just needs a little love... maybe what them mean by that is the boat will f#$@ you really good and hard the whole time you own it. O well, that's why we do it right?
