Looking forward to seeing how this works :D
Larry, I can't even begin to explain it :lol: :lol:
First, why did I do it?
Second, what to heck is that smell :lol: :lol:
Third, I hope the additional brain damage isn't too bad...
I fixed it for you.

That's the way Richard. She'll be ready to prime when she's ready to prime. :D

You do know your "buddy" is going to be smashing that boat into the mangroves and oyster bars first trip out! STOP fairing! It's not "fair" to have that boat sit next to mine already!

So give it a try...what does the inside of that heat shrink smell like? :D :D :D

Hi Steve, great to hear from you!!! Thanks for the compliment :D Your build was one of the first that I got ideas from when I joined the forum several years ago.
Don't resist the urge, I'm 100% positive you will build a world class FS-18 or anything else you decide to build :D

I spent another 2 hours this afternoon fairing this boat. It was a mild 98 degrees inside the shop at 1800.
All I have is a little touch up around the skeg and it will be ready to flip or prime.
