So I have a customer that owns a really nice looking Connolly 21 RC but the cavitation hardware on the back of the boat is really old. So we sat down and talked and he told me about certain parts he wants to reuse and certain parts he wants to upgrade mainly going from anodized aluminum to stainless. The transom blocks from an earlier post called “keeping up with Lenmann”, are the blocks that are going onto this boat.
The first step is to model the back of the boat into the computer. Then start reverse engineering some of the turnbuckles and the hardware that he’s going to keep. Then we start getting crazy with new designs of certain parts of the cavitation hardware. You’ll also see on some of the close-up views of different styles of turnbuckles that we experimented with.
Now it’s time to make chips!
