I'll be listing these over at performance boats parts spam section but want anyone racing to get first dibs and of course a special price.

Gears are 12 degree but have one set of 10 degree 25s. All right hand prop conversion adapters are available, and the v-drive is actually a Z drive for hydroplanes to add a gear box to direct drive. Have 2 extra V-drive oil pans with pickup tube cheap!

I probably have what you need, just have to find it!

Short for Chargin Charlie's progress:

Well

OK, rotated the boat for final fairing and blocking. Thought I could get some Featherfill on today but NO, more delamination between the added Balsa filler and thin outside laminate cloth. After this one was filled, I sanded and prepared once more for spraying then the other baseball size one appeared near the bow! Dang it. Sure glad this boat didnt ram docks like ours do it would have been way worse! Epoxe Resin takes about 4 hours to set at 60 degrees. Another 10 hour day...Turkey soup for lunch, Turkey for din din. Need nap!
Every seam-crack where filler was used to blend in hardware has cracked and had to be filled with epoxe. You can not just let fly with the sander since the contour and blueprint job wont allow that....you have to use three different pad sizes to avoid removing purposeful NONFLAT areas!
The side shot shows where the major crack was that had to be resealed with the boat on its edge....you can see how straight the side should be now with all the feathering and block sanding. I'll do more after the filler is applyed but why not use the layers and layers of paint, primer, and bondo already there!
Can you count the different coats??? I think the green is gel coat backing color. Goes between the white gelcoat and first layer of glass in the mold.
Check out the unusual chine, cant wait to see how Charley turns!

Is the baseball sized delamination or damage from a hit of some sort. Notice in the center lower left in the green area a small yellow spot, this is weak if you tap it so holes were drilled and epoxe forced into the void and then a weight taped to the repair to flatten the bulge. You can also see the pink bondo smoothing the balsa-glass dropped chine beginning.

If that snout adapter is for a small block I'm interested.

Welcome the newest addition to the Northwest flatties. 1972 Javelin, set up by Al Lapointe, driven by Kip Brown and others. Been under a tarp for a couple years. A touch of glass work, some serious cleaning a few nuts and bolts and it will be good to go.
