You can't desert us now Dave. Once BBV gets in your blood, you will have to build another oneI will also continue to visit the forum regularly, as the boat is not 100 percent complete yet.

Re: Hope2float's P-21 in Jackson
Hello to all! The boat is running fine and ready for first oil change. The only problem I had is that the 6oz that I applied to the outside of the spray rail Has been removed by water pressure. If water gets under the edge its gone. I have repaired one spot with 12oz and it seems to have cured the problem. Anyway here is a video of some of the full throttle runs. This boat just doesn't disappoint.
BUILD-ON!

Re: Hope2float's P-21 in Jackson
Great work Dave.
I'll heed the warning on the spray rails, I was going to cover mine with 6oz, but might upgrade it to 12 oz.
Have you got any shots of the boat running from another boat, so we can see her up on the plane from the outside, I'd love to see how she looks.
Cheers
Justin.

Re: Hope2float's P-21 in Jackson
Thanks again all for the compliments. This boat is great, it feels very stable. The trim tabs work great when they are needed. Justin I am working on getting those types of videos. The waters over here have been pretty bad becuase of all the storms. When it settles down I will try to get some up and running.
BUILD_ON!

Don't be afraid to post some in bad weather, that would be great to see how she handles, I know she'll look awesome in good weather
