Rick, what would it take to stretch the 34 to a 42' Superboat?

I am kind pusshing the envelope on the 34's capabilities. I am asking JC for 400 gallons of cruising capacity. :cool-smiley-011:

Damn noli, just how deep are your pockets ??? I love your enthusiam!!!!:D

noli 03-20-2008 05:48 PM

no no, I don't have deep pockets. I'm actually over my head with the 34. Just forcing it...giving up other things. I actually had an order for the 30Y2K but it didn't hold enough gas for my trips.

I was just curious what it would take to stretch the 34. Pockets are empty now. I eat fortune cookies for breakfast and dinner. I skip lunch :)

Noli, all the foam coring is on the forward deck. Today I'll have it sanded and ready for glass. Finishing the sides of the deck today also.

noli 03-21-2008 06:50 AM

sounds great. it looks like you guys are moving right along. No pressure but whenever you can get us some pics, that would be great :D

I appreciate all of your efforts in keeping us updated.

FX10 03-21-2008 04:28 PM

I get my camera back this weekend (hopefully). So I'll have pics up next week.

FX10 03-26-2008 05:56 AM

Noli, sprayed your hull up yesturday. All glass work is done on the deck. All I have to do on it, is glass all the wires in.

Superbabi 03-26-2008 10:10 AM

noli. are you getting all Amped up !!!!!!

noli 03-26-2008 10:20 AM

yes I am. It's exciting to hear about the build. but nothing excites me more than seeing pics of it though(hint Rick)...:grinser010:

FX10 03-27-2008 03:43 AM

Noli, we skinned out the hull yesturday. Layup wil begin today.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'm definately gettiing the camera back this weekend.

noli 03-27-2008 06:18 PM

Wow Rick, that is one big hull. Who were the other guys there? I've never seen them before. Do they come in only for the big layups?

FX10 03-27-2008 06:58 PM

Those are Coens grandsons. They've worked there before.

noli 03-27-2008 07:01 PM

So how did the layup go? Any curve balls thrown at you?:D

z.zuperboat 03-28-2008 06:23 AM

I stopped down yesterday to check it out . That boat has to twice the build of a Y2K. Rick had the shop jumping. Looks Goood !!

noli 03-28-2008 07:05 AM

yes it looked great. There were about 6 or 7 guys doing the layup. And according to Rick, it has to be done in 1 continuous layup...no stopping overnight then continue in the morning. There is so much to know about boat building!!!

FX10 03-28-2008 07:37 PM

Noli, the other side is laid up. Looks awesome..

z.zuperboat 03-29-2008 06:25 AM

Come on Rick Like we would expect anything but perfection !!

FX10 03-29-2008 08:16 AM

Noli, that was one huge layup. A half a drum+ of resin per side. I need a few days to rest afer that,
I wish I could rest. I'm going in now to finish the hull on my FX10 Supervader. That will be done next week, and be for sale.

noli 03-29-2008 09:49 AM

what is a supervader?
Please send us pics. :cool-smiley-011:

z.zuperboat 03-29-2008 03:59 PM

Compared to your 34 its lile a lift raft !!

noli 03-29-2008 04:23 PM

You know its funny that you should say that. I am just as happy in a 21 Super as I am in a 34 super. They're all fun. Being on the water is what I long for. How many more weeks till boating season??

I sprayed up the hull yesturday, And it will be done in a few days. The deck is already done.
It's basically a 10' GW Invader. Except I modified the bottom by changing the pad and adding inverted chines. Doing that resulted in a 5 MPH speed gain over the origiinal. Boat does 40 with a 25HP on it. My buddy has the first one with a 70 Merc on it.
This Yellow and black one is for sale for 3k. Anybody want one, let me know. I need to sell 3 quick.

Rick, your FX-10 boats are really nice looking rides. I bet there gonna sell quick !!!!

FX10 03-30-2008 08:21 AM

I hope so.

noli 03-30-2008 11:41 AM

Wow, these are nice boats. They would run great in Barnegat Bay. Lots of luck in your new business. What's the name of your new company? Do you have a web site yet?

I am going to let my brother know in FL about your creations!

FX10 03-30-2008 12:09 PM

Noli, it's not a new business. I've had these molds for some time.

I have seen a couple of Ricks FX-10 boats on the barnegat bay, and they do run nice !!!:D

noli 03-30-2008 06:19 PM

Is that where the "FX-10" comes from? Is this the model name of your boat? I would go all out on this if I were you. First a 12 footer then a 21 footer then a 27 called the FX-27!!!

You probably need investors right about now. :cool-smiley-011:
