I'm looking for some one in the Pennsylvania area that has a good track record for blueprinting and working on hulls.
Also can some one explain what the blue printing consist of.
Thanks,
Mike

Active Mike,
Why would you want to do that? For the money you can add a procharger. Already have one add headers. Got them. Pull the motor and refresh it or port and polish the heads. It much easier and if your close to me I'll help and pull the motor for free. As long as someone brings the beer.

I'm dealing with a porpoising and handling problem with my boat. I know that there is some imperfections in my hull.
Where are you located at that you are offering your services?
Thanks,

Mike,
Talk to R Addiction. He has a Tantrum also. Maybe he can shed some light. What is your top speed? Do you have trim tabs? Services......I've pulled two motors this year alone. Even have a few friends that would be more than happy to help. The sooner we get it out the more time we'll have to get a poker game started. Just bring lots of beer. Now....how close are you to York?

My top speed is 75 mph gps. I run tabs but don't want to use them to control the porpoising because they scrub speed.
I live in the Williamsport area. York is about a 2 1/2 hr dive south from Williamsport.
Still not sure what direction I'm taking.
Thanks for the offer,
Mike

Theye had all sorts of Carbon Fiber overlays that they had done in the cockpit.
The dash especially.
They did it all in one piece.
You got to know the procedure to really know how much patience it has to take to do that.
I believe they said it was between 12 to 16 hrs just to layup the carbon without a seem.
Had their shop set at about 40 degrees to keep the epoxy from hardening too soon.
Great job they did on it.
Ask them if you can see it if they didn't already sell it.
