PAT, JEALOUS??? OF WHAT?? LUNCH IN SB LAND OR SB30?? OF COURSE YOUR INVITED TO LUNCH...IF ITS SB30 - BETTER GET CHUMMY WTH JC!!! GARY

Hey Gary,
I have made plenty of trips to Superboat land. Thanks for the invite though.
JC, I have met a time or two. FX, I have not yet had the pleasure...
Hoping at Superfest 2005, we'll all get together.
I'll be sticking with my 24' for a few years to come; so I'll just remain jealous of you 30'SB owners.

Rick. Saw Your Other Post ( Blue Printed Bottom ) What Is Up With That? Do We Need To Tnink About That For Superbabi !! I Always Thought A Hook Would Only Take Place On Older Hulls? Gary.

Gary,
Good news !! Balsa is done in the bow and the transom is clamped in. I''ll remove the clamps in the am, grind then glass the last 3 plys of glass over it. Then it''s stringer time !!!
As far as "BLUEPRINTING" goes. It's done to remove Any irregularities in the hull, or to achieve a certain attitude with a particular hull. Say you have a hull thats too flighty and can't stay in the water. You would put a slight hook. If your hull doesn''t get enough lift, you can add a Rocker close to the stern, which will give you lift. Or you can just have your bottom blueprinted true, or flat as glass.
A perfect example was "Freeze Frame", a 30' Superboat, Tempest model. Some of you guys might remember that one. As soon as it was popped out of the mold, we clamped it back in and flipped it over. Then a rocker was added. That boat did almost 80mph with a pair of stock 200 mercs, 8 mph faster then a regular hull. Granted it was alittle lighter.But you could tell the attitude of the hull wasn''t like a regular hull. It aired out like a mother F*@%*r !!
PS.
Blueprinting isn't cheap.
Gary, Kate had the camera today at school. So I''ll have pictures for you tomorrow.
