A little off the subject but if you have not noticed this thread is now the biggest in Hydroracer history!!!

I've been following this one along with the cmod thread, its pretty long too.

Lets make it longer.

The dashboard.

90 pounds? So far so good, for Bruce's fat***. I hope you are using 3-mil for decks. And the Machined Components hardware saves you a few pounds on the rigging FYI.

Typically you can add 20 pounds for decking and this and that's, plus epoxy coat on deck.

Add another 10 for rigging hardware as a guess and you will be within 5 - 10 pounds of its final weight.

I predict 125 pound boat, rigged, without paint.

Look closely, it is already painted!!

FYI-that 6 shooter isn't APBA legal, it needs kevlar and an APBA sticker...

It is not a 6 shooter, it is a new type of throttle.

1st deck stringer fit. Combing pulleys are a challange, and back side of dash reinforced. You can't yank this one out bro.

You may find that you need to move the dash back some. I put ours and the one I built for someone else back about 6 inches and still use a 6" steering wheel extension from the drawing location. I guess it will depend on how long your arms are.

How do you determine dash set back

Mike, how do you go about determining the dash set back when tailoring a build?

Mike, how do you go about determining the dash set back when tailoring a build?

For myself the first one I built I clamped the dash in place and got in the boat in a position I thought would be about right and no way I could even be close to where the wheel would be. So I adjusted accordingly. Then I still needed the extension to get the right feel but then after a test run we had to also extend the cockpit cut out about 6 inches further aft also. Now I find out the height of a person and compensate accordingly. I don't really like using the extensions.
