Thanks, we will try and keep it updated. Subscribe on YouTube for all the latest full episodes.

We are starting to thing about colors and I want to do something different, something a little more "automotive" inspired. I really love the the vintage Porsche designer Singer, and what their color schemes.

Episode 5 is here. In this episode we move things to the shop, where we look at the transom and stringer install. We talk about how the stringers were formed to fit perfectly to the hull, bonded in place, and we used 2408 fiberglass to glass everything in. The resin used is a proprietary resin Mark at Rage Powerboats likes to use. We also discuss the fuel tank plans and putting in the reinforcing tabs.

 
We didn't update here in a while, but the project 22 Activator is finished and running. The 22 Activator was completely redone. All of it documented in a YouTube series. The restoration part is all finished, the boat is rigged and ready to test.

We are getting some props together to do some tests and get it running the best it can. So far we've run it in the Long Island sound and in Miami, and it's impressive in the rough water for a small boat. The boat is heavy for a 22, but we wanted it to run in rough water, and were not worried about top speed.
