My Buddy StuLooks just like the last 20'! Who's doing the glass work for you??
yupIn Norco?
Trailer will be gone through once I drop the hull off. The previous owner welded on mid bunk brackets. I need to finish welding them and grind them smooth. I need to remount the fender so they sit lower and closer to the tires for a better look. I also need to cut the nose off and make it a swing away so it fits in my backyard.Could use an update on the trailer, too, after you modernize the hull. Keep trucking on it!
These are always enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Does Stu have a business name? Interested in him looking at my Kona possibly. I’m in Norco also.
Stu is slammed and trying to retire. He is only taking this project because he wants it done as bad as I doDoes Stu have a business name? Interested in him looking at my Kona possibly. I’m in Norco also.

Any shops you can recommend I can check out for gel work?Stu is slammed and trying to retire. He is only taking this project because he wants it done as bad as I do
Actually, I heard WOT Marine has a great glass/gel guy! I am planning on taking my wood Crackerbox to him next year. Give WOT Marine a call.Any shops you can recommend I can check out for gel work?
Stu has been doing this for a long, long time. Going to miss his skills down the road.thats a bummer man, I didnt realize Tracer Marine was going to be shutting down. Sucks losing all of these great shops, they take their knowledge and skill and we're left with a vacuum.
100% Completely Different. It will have a Bright White Non-Skid Deck and whatever Gel colors I decide to go with.You mentioned Regelled?
Are you going to keep the same exterior Gelcoat theme? Or Change it up?
I was good the first couple of grindings. On the last grinding, I put a white pain suite on and kept most of the dust out. For some reason, right after I was done and showered, my skin, head to tow had an allergic reaction and my whole body was itching bad. I took a Clariton allergy medicine and it stopped after about 30 minutes. I think it was because I took a super cold shower to rinse and cool off. Fuck that sucked balls!These photos make me itchy. This will be a fun one to watch. I love old school hulls with new school builds.
New fuel tanks mocked up and ready to go to IMCO!
They do great, I had one with an approximate 1000 hp turbo engine that I ski raced with years ago.This is an ambitious project. I really like the 20 footers, how do they perform with big power ?
I think Andrew may confirm handling and weight distribution for GN racing.what was the reasoning for going with shorter / fatter tanks vs extending them down the side and keeping them more narrow?

Id love to have a 20 some day. Maybe timing will be right when you're done with this one
I will definitely do a build thread on the new boat. As much as I want to keep this and get this build done, I need a hull a little lighter to be competitive out there racing.No lie, i am kinda bummed by this news, I was looking forward to the build thread.
Good luck with the sale and the new race boat.
Oh, do a build thread on the race boat please, its going to be a long cold winter and lord knows we can't survive on Speed UTV threads alone.
