33 Daytona Build - The Red Rocket !!
 

One of our fellow OSO members is building a new 33' Daytona. Let's follow the build as it progresses...:ernaehrung004:

First off, prep the molds:

They are cleaned and then Mold Wax is applied...slippery stuff.

Temps have been quite cold for a few days, sold the molds are wrapped, patiently waiting to head to the spray booth.

Molds have been in the spray booth Thu & Fri:

Hull goes first, with the bottom getting an extra thick coating of R-14:

Clear goes first, following by House of Kolor II Icy Red:

Then comes the R-14 full coat:

In the final stages now:

Red is checked for cover:

The final coat is ALWAYS black: Helps w/air bubbles in lamination, and is that "tell-tell" when things possibly happen in the future.
Of course, we never damage our hulls, right?

That's it, piece of cake...

Deck Mold is next on Monday, if not tomorrow/Saturday...

Laying it down...

The "clear coat" was done with Pearls...gonna look "WET" when it's polished out for rigging... :cool:

Hell yeah. Just gonna be solid red no graphics I suppose? Or they probably would've been laid in the gel. ???

Cool thread, thanks for posting these pics up.

Boat looks awesome, I love the red.

Yep...straight red....buyer's decision, and I like it...!!! Haven't decided on hardware yet, but black would be sweet...

Man ol man bring on some more pics

Agreed lets see em

Any chance that this is "The Red Rocker" Sammy Hagar's boat? ;)

Geez grads...your one POW (piece of work) lol

Not much new on the boat...it's been in Production getting the deck/hull sealed, tanks installed, bulkheads installed, etc...
Real back-breaking work crawling around in the nose of that boat with resin coated fiberglass and wood...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]535471[/ATTACH]

It's prolly gonna be another two weeks (or more) before we move it out to rigging...after the above is completed, it gets a complete once over the gel, complete color sand & polish, etc.
If we're going to flo-coat the engine bay, that's another week or two. If it's getting a front/rear cap, and two MORE weeks...

LOTS & LOTS OF HOURS in hand labor putting these boats together...

I'm not quite sure what this means??? I was half kidding when I asked the question. If it really is Sammy's it was a very, very lucky guess.

Buyer is out of NY...auto guy.!! Sorry for the poke... :D

Love to build Sammy a boat...43' Eagle or the 40' Sport Cat...

How about an update -----Photos Photos Photos Please :-)

I Guess Sammy cant drive 55 And Shueman forgot how to use a camera
Is the build over ?

ouch !!! :D

The boat is in final polishing...hours and hours of hand sanding to get it ready.

Motors and Drives arrived last Friday...pulled from the donor boat this week and on display.

I'll get "fresh" pix this morning and post 'em up...

Motors...hmmm, red !!!

Nice sammy is happy

Wow !! That looks great ------Can you follow along with photos of the rigging , such as finding x dimension and cutting the transom for the drives. I for one really enjoy watching one come together and I think a lot of others would too. It gives a little more insight to just how much work really goes into one of these builds. ------Thanks

Will do !!!

Niew 33' Daytona Video
 

Found a DVD in the Archives that has not been posted previously...

33 Daytona with 700s...The Red Rocket will likely blow this one away...!!!

http://youtu.be/93HFXQaFYcs

Nice video - BUT I would rather hear the engines. That thing probably sounds wild going by at full throttle.
I like how you painted the boxes and drives. I was thinking on doing that to mine.

Any new pictures coming shue? I need my appetite feed please

Lemme look...'bout ready to come out for rigging...!!!

I'll post some updates as soon as I get into the shop...they were doing some last details on the bottom gel y'day...
Motors are in position....what's that tag say? 10min running time...!!!
