Re: 1981 FORMULA F233 RESTORATION

Re: 1981 FORMULA F233 RESTORATION

Looking great! I always check for new updates on your project. You could hit that panel with some 1200 grit sandpaper or something similar to knock down the gloss if it gets to you.

Re: Seacraft 23 - shine

That looks really great! I've been following this build since the first post. If you end up prop shopping, take a look at mercury enertia props. I went through a lot of props on my last boat and the enertia was the fastest by a couple mph and held the bow almost as well as a 4 blade. It was easily t...

Re: Hull To Be Used As Plug

There have been 3 threads in recent months in the pictures section of thehulltruth.com posted by builders either making a plug and then a mold or just building boats from a mold. There are others as well. Look for "reinventing a cat", "tideline", "freeman", and "ca...
