hey guys. While i have been waiting for some fiberglass cloth to start on my seats and fairings i am continuing to work on my plug for a model off shore catamaran.
built off frame, all laser cut, and then framed up and balsa, then gelcoat!
this will be the plug, going to knock it off the board, give it a deck profile and build a mold out of it so i can lay these up.

Awesome!! That looks cool!

Well that about does it. I am resurrecting my old man's homemade RC boat the next time I go home. You will have the balsa made cat and I will have the balsa vee bottom!

Thanks Guys!.
the boat is 39 inches long with a deck overhang of 2 inches so a total length of 41 inches.
twin motors, right now i am getting some Greensand and i am going to design a NXT1- or number 6 drysump drive and lay it up, then cast if out of aluminum with greensand.
