Sean, your boat is looking Great !!! Built Rick Tuff !!!:grinser010:

Saw the boat, it is coming our great! Saw the mockup of the new splash well, looked really nice. And the removable rear bench was done, Rick was able to throw it in the other 30 CC they are building for stock, looks real good and pretty functional as well (Rick, agree on those hand rails!)

Some pics of the centerconsole hatch/seat being completed, popped out and console from last week

wow lookin' good Sean.


Keep the pics comin'


So that's how those pieces are built.

Can't wait to see them on your Y2K :)

Sean, those are plugs (prototypes). Once completed, they are primed wetsanded then polished. Then given wax after wax after wax and so on. Then a mold is made from them. Then the mold has to get wetsanded, polished, waxed and waxed and waxed and so on. Then! we can make a part. Tons of sanding. It's great for the arthritis in the elbow's. ;) and the back.

My bad.....meant to say plugs, you've only explained it to me about 20 times now :)

Talked to JC yesterday, might be swinging by on Sat to see everything if you are around

I'm gonna try to be there. Christmas is right around the corner. I need all the hours I can get in.

Sean. Got the Motor well and seat base primed today. I'll go in tomorrow to touch them up, this way I can get right to sanding monday morning.

Sean, maybe we can have the weekend edition of SBTV?

Rick- got the pics, thanks, was in the car on the way out to the house, looked great, see you tomorrow

Sean, no way I could have made it yesturday. Kate came over after work, and I wound up at her house in Valley Stream. Wound up going to Pace to get her daughter and some of her stuff.

No worries, I figure you had no shot of not going to Pace!

Swung by the factory on Saturday, was able to see the plug for the seat and splash well. Also picked out the switch lay out for the switch panel I wanted. overall, everything is really coming together. JC told me the deck might be pulled this week.

Nice pics Sean!

Keep 'em comin'


Rick makes boat building seem easy...

Sean,

Do you think it's possible to create a video and post in Youtube on your hull being pulled out of the mold ?

This is a big week!




noli

......

The plugs looks like they're ready.

Rick, when do you think you'll start the molds?






Noli

Some recent pics of the plugs after first coat of glass

looks great....i gotta stop by the shop and have a look at it....

hey RICK when you think your gonna have her done????

George- will give you a shout this week on some steering system ideas. JC wants it picked out so he can build the compartment to store the pumps ,etc in under the center console

As far as completion.....hoping mid to end of January!

George,
Probable need around 3 weeks once the hull and deck are pulled. Priority now is getting the new molds (3) done for the motor well, seat base and console base. By the end of next week I should have a part out of both the motor well and seat base molds.

I think a couple of these on the back would wake this ride up alittle too.

Well looks great Rick, I never knew all the work that went into making even the smaller molds

Rick, Sean, the Jack Plate is a great idea, wish they had them for I/O 'S !!! Great thread guys, keep the photos coming !!!!

Hey guys ..... whats the status of the "stock" 30 CC ?

BEAUTIFUL !

If your interested. I could have it done in a few weeks, maybe less.

If your interested. I could have it done unrigged in a few weeks, maybe less. Call Coen direct @ 631-226-1761 and tellum Rick sent ya ;)

Does that mean mine will be done in less than a few weeks:evilb::evilb::)

a cool advantage with this system is the EX-zact trim control. Returns the engine to it's pre set height to within 1/8". Dunk the motors all the way down for the untimate holeshot, get it on plane, trim it up. then jack up the motor. A definate advantage to a manual setback. You can probably go at least another inch, if not higher with this setup. I can almost smell 87.6 :)

The stock one is basically done. Front hatch is on now with the lifting supports. Just needs the 2 cockpit sole hatches, the 2 small hatches for the well, and to mount the console.

Nice, lets get that one out the door and make some room for mine:) Rick- coming by Xmas eve morning with my mom, pop and the lil man, see you then

you got it. leaving for work now.

See you thursday.....I'll bring the bagels on coffee

sounds good, going in today @ 9:00, and will be done around 3

Guys ..... whats the 30 CC weigh in at ? And what is the LOA ?

We're estimating 1800 lbs. Sean is going to weigh his trailer, then weigh it with the boat unrigged to get an exact weight.

Wow ..... thats pretty lite ! :coolcowboy:
