Wolverine

If you find a spare Wolverine cheap lemme know. Actually I'd like a `55 vintage A.N.A. (Associated Navel Architects) 14' runabout. Then I could relive my misspent youth since I have the Mark 25 like the one I had back then.

A guy who lived a couple of houses down from me when I was a kid had one. He had a KG7 on it. He was the envy of the neighborhood. I would love to have one now, but then again I have too many boats now.

Pics

It's not a lame excuse....on my old cell I could send pics to my e mail addy and then download them to Hydroracer...on new phone I can't do that. What I think I will do is send pics to a friend and her send them to my e mail address. Cowling was a major pain in the butt to attach....took most of the day today to get it close...does not look as nice as Darren's boat, but rest of rig looks fine. On a side note, I think t Mobile (my carrier) is changing a few things...just my guess. Dave

what crappy phone do you have? I have an HTC with T-Mobile and have no problems sending pics!!!! It's Daren with 1 "r"............LOL

phone

It's an LG flip phone......when I first signed up for T mobile I had an app on phone which allowed me to send stuff to my e mail address. Phone got wet at Wakefield.....bought a new one, and now I can't send anything to my e mail address. I do not understand it..but oh well..if anybody cares, new boat is a carbon copy of wrecked boat, but 1/2 inch wider, a little more lift, and composite bottom and cockpit sides. I think it will come in about 20lbs lighter then old boat...but we will see...David

Dave how are you planning on sealing the edges of the composite or anyone else out there.

[bill boyes]

I have stated before that I used a 3/16 eye bolt and gently tapped the edges and crushed the the Honycomb about 1/4 inch. Then filled the edges with epoxy mixed with wood flower. It worked for me at the time. I am sure there may be a better filler out there today.

[Larry Darneille]

I do the same as Bill but use West 406 Silica and 407 mixed with the epoxy and apply it with a narrow putty knife to press it into any resistant cells.
