Re: FX-10 Boats ???
This ones a Chistmas present from Coen to his Grand sons. Wish my grand father got me a boat for Christmas. He was a boatbuilder too! Go figure.....

Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Rick, shoot some pics if you can, sure would like to see the progress on line !!!!! Perhaps a Racegirl edition would be nice !!!!! :D :p :evilb:
|
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
I would like to see some pics also Rick. What setup and speeds do they run?
Any improvments you can tell me that they have over my Mini Hawk? Thanks, johnny |
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Johny,
For starters, it's faster with same HP as yours. It can also hold bigger HP. My Mini Hawk(25 years ago) had a 35, and I tryed to put a 40 on her. Almost sunk it. Hawks just too narrow a beam to hold any HP. My SuperVader is over 5' wide, and can basically handle anything. My buddy has the first 1 out of the mold. Rigged with a 70 Merc. It's pretty sick !! I'll take a few pics tomorrow. |

Re: FX-10 Boats ???
How does the FX-10 boat ride? I have had my boat out in true blue 4 footers out on the lake and enjoyed my self. :eek: :cool: It realy does ride nice for a little boat! But the boat has no bow lift at all above 35 unless your trimmed to the moon. A Mini Chopper prop and no hook should change that.

Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Rick do you mind If I ask some questions about them at superfest? I am doing an over haul and want to know what setup (xd,battery placement etc) that i should run.
|
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Mine was a pull start, no battery, and clamped right on the transom. Answered all 3 !!

Heres the deck. Coen wanted this boat to hold his 4 Grandkids. So instead of the Sport deck, we damed off the sides and only layed up the bow section and 4" on the sides. I know it's hokey, but it's what Coen wanted.

Re: FX-10 Boats ???
nice work rick.....that think will never break thats for sure....
|
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
The FX-10 SUPER SPECIAL !!!!!!! Nice ride !!!!! Great work Rick. :D
|
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Rick the Mini Hawk has a much more "deep vee". Does that effect the ride?
|
Re: FX-10 Boats ???
Of course. It can handle rougher water. But in calmer water, say 1' or less, the supervader will smoke ya.

Started another one last week for me. It's going to be for sale, or I might give it to the girls to play around in next summer.
It's going to be yellow and black. Yellow deck with a black pickel fork design in the gelcoat. I should have the deck done by the end of the week Here are a few pics of the deck before gelcoating. |

Deck is all gelcoated. Tomorrow it will be skinned.
|
Rick, what size Merc. you gonna put on her ???
|
Merc ??? I was thinking of a 25 Yammi. ;) only kidding !!. If the girls use it, it can't go too fast. Maybe a 15 (which I have) till they learn to drive it. I'll try to sell it first without a motor. Boat,seats and steering. $ 3,200.00
|
Rick how much for a race insert cockpit cover for a Y2K?
|
Jeff,
I think it's around $ 1,800.00. But I could be wrong. Best bet would be to ask the Coenhead. |

Deck is all glassed and Balsa cored. Even used vinylester resin, so I know it will be around for awhile. Tomorrow I'll glass on the dash and it's done. Next the hull.
Hopefully this Supervader will be in the water in the spring. |
Great Rick! Gotta take me for a rip in it!!!
|
Almost resembles a G-3?
