Dave here is the last bag, the outside skin on Momma Cheetahcat,This was a precursor of the Quick Bag's massive Vacuum channels,I placed a Foam pad under the Spaghetti cut pipe on top of the peel ply to avoid marking the Laminate, this was cut from scraps of upholstery foam given to me by Dan at Powerplay (My Day Job ) You can see the resin starting to seep through the breather,The other side is done and disposables waiting to be stripped off and trashed

That night we had what the Old timers called a "Palmetto Pounder" lightning hit and took out the pump But this was a tandem so I just started the other unit before vacuum was even out of the common receiver tank

Hell of a Noise though.

that is a very unique cross section on those sponsons. I've seen a lot of boats and chalk a lot up to momory but i gotta say those are one of a kind. The deadrise looks much deeper then most cats as well as a angle of attack on the front of the sponsons looks very long. cool stuff
