Steve great thread!

A little more 38 history. One hull was used in the development of the Sunsation F4. They staggered the power, added a swim platform and stretched the nose for the extra 5 ft. (43 vs. 38). Another hull was used to inspire the Joker/Epic 41 CC that Brian is building.

Yes I heard about that, the black hull was the show boat.

I couldn't tell if that NY show boat was black or navy blue. The blue 38 Nick built and took back to CA/NV area has about 100 hours on the hull and is ready for a museum it is so perfect/clean. He pulled the 525/XR combo and re-rigged it with 700/NXT combo. Boat runs 100 and they were still playing with props.

Hey thanks for the nice comment!

I really liked the 38 a lot of time and $$ was spent on design.

Another 38'.

Steve - can you explain the bottom design a little bit on the 38'.

The 38 Hull mold I have more Pictures that was sprayed up around midnight if memory serves with clear tooling gelcoat then in the morning with a color backup,We went @10 Oz of Glass then bagged 3/4" Full sheets of Corecell and finished with a balanced lamination,

Danny was worried about marks from the supporting pipe work ,so we placed strips of foam core in adhesive where the pipe was to be glassed on ,that way the pipe was glassed to the foam "Pads" not the mold shell itself.

I know this has been asked before and answered before but where are the newer 33 molds at ?

I know that cool boat!!

When we ran the Plug his Idea was to set attitude and release the bottom , it ran very well with like no power also there were a couple extra strakes also that never made it to the finial plug stage.

I heard Tom Mason has them but the street talk is worse than the internet, I also heard they sat with water in them, a real no no ,tooling gelcoat does not like that, it blisters, shame the barcol readings were in the high 50's on that black mold, I sprayed that on the 4th of July..
