That's it for now. Now I just need to go see Andy for a rear hatch and a stainless steel spring. It's not pretty yet, but it's coming together.

Looking good! Your rod holders made me think of a James Bond-ish kayak with rockets and other special weapons being launced from the cool yak issued to him by Q.

Keep the photos coming.

Looks like your gona have a sweet ride for your self thanks for the update.

Typhoon class Kayak, I like it!

[bubblehide]

James bond-ish, typhoon class, ROTFLMAO, thanks guys, but that is just to funny. It'll look much sweeter when I get around to putting some color on it; but somehow I think the :wsb:will keep from that step for a bit. I just gotta get OTW again, soon!

[bus kid]

are you still going with the mirage drive?

paint it all gray, for that stealth look.

[bubblehide]

are you still going with the mirage drive?...



Yes, I have the mirage drive housing in the yak already :sifone:
just need to do some finish work on it.



Paint it you say, no way, although I'm thinking about doing the hull in a kelp forest camo gel coat.

Ok I'm slow, but here's the latest:

"what does this butt.....doooooooooooooooo..." the hot rod is looking good...thanks for the pic update, I was wonderin how that was doin...:luxhello:

[bus kid]

It looks good, just might be fast enough to catch some of those nuclear powered tuna on the way from the far west :biggrinjester:

[sandydiego]

Just a suggestion. I would get some ss eyelets and put one at each rod holder base. A thin strip of wood across the underside to give it some strength. Rod leashes keep the money from falling out!

[Deamon]

That is stud class stuff right there...Does your wife ever tell you the brick planters are for holding flowering shrubs vs 2X4's and misc boat building equipment?

[huntin4fish]

You got some serious skills there, Lookin good!!!

Hum, so that meeting could be a set-up, darn!
lol, somehow I don't think there a bit worried.

[StinkyMatt]

Called it!:D

Funny you should say that, as I was actually thinking of making another one when I'm done with this one (using it as a mold to make a mold from). But I'm not sure that I'll be in any hurry about it. in reality, I think I'm going to have to use it, to see what I might want to change.

[mtnbykr2]

have not heard anything on this in a while, hope all is moving forward...
or is it on tha back burner...or is it complete?:reel:

[bubblehide]

I took it out a few days back, it actually floated. Other than adding a few pounds, I'm pretty happy with her, but I do have a few things to work on still; and she still needs gelcoat or some type of finish, but she does cut through the surf and glide across the water. I'll have to see if I have a pic to post.
