    The boat looks very nice. I am not sure if the tape will hold up at high speeds. Very nice looking ride.

    How long did that hull stay in the molds while it was curing? Why aren't bulkheads set while boat's in the mold? Wouldn't that help keep things more stable when pulled?
    Looks like it's going to be a nice boat.

    Widowmaker, the boat looks great!

    Mind if I ask a few questions? Is this the Daytona mold that Dave Bautista, aka SoCalPower, owned recently? Who/what shop did the actual lay up?

That's like the 20th time he's gone by today?"

    Shoe can give you the scoop with all the details. He deserves all the credit for getting this deal done asap.

    Greg could tell you actual cure times. I'm not sure.

    Can't set the bulkheads in the mold because then you wouldn't be able to get in under the bow to glass the two seams together.
