Well while my engines are getting installed i'm finishing up on the hard top,I should be done this week with the top....engines, well weeks hopefully

Looking good! Looking very good in fact. Is that a navigation light you built into the top? If so, a close up picture and some additional details would be appreciated...

Jimmy, The top looks good. What core material did you use to get the curve? Been thinking about getting rid of a tower and going with a hard top.

I used Coosa, 3/4 first, got the radius and then router the channels then glued 1/2 to the top to cap it then router the edges for a bull nose and 60-80 hours later wala

Does it have an arch to it? If so is the coosa board flexible enough to get one?
Thanks

What kind of numbers (knots) are you getting and what size props/gear ratio…if you don't mind

JimmyG, I can't find the video you refer to on building the hardtop. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
