Are those the 270hp or 320hp motors? The duoprops will probably do wonders for getting her up on plane. You sure have to let us know how she runs. I wonder if there will be enough weight taken off the stern to consider getting rid of the hook at the end of the hull?

I'm not sure what I will do with the rest of the boat, but the two different gray/silvers and the red match my motors and drives well. The hull will stay white till I decide what I want. I am painting the raised portion of the bow with the same paint I did the K-planes with though.

Few more pics. Used spray foam so I had something easy to shape. Worked very well. The fairing is 3 1/2 inches lower in the front than the glass was, but I kept the same height on both sides until just past where the grab bars/supports mount. This way I could reuse all those pieces without any additional work.

The fairing took me more time than all the rest of the boat combined!

Three layers of glass later and a coat of primer and this is what I ended up with. I didnt have the heart or the energy to take any pics of this step, which happened to take over a month for me to complete.
